FOR whom, sweet Muse, this harvest do you ravish Of various song? who lyric wreath composes? This Meleager in remembrance laboured For Diocles renowned, and wove the lavish Lilies of Anyte, with lilies neighboured Of Moiro many; of Sappho few, but roses; Of Melanippides, narcissus big With song; Simonides -- a young vine twig; And in and out the scented orrice weaving Of Nossis (Love himself moulded her waxen tables). Of dulcet Rhianus he wove marjoram; Tender soft crocus to Erinna's name; And poet's bluebell where Alcaeus babbles, With Samius' laurel darkly interleaving. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ENVY OF OTHER PEOPLE'S POEMS by ROBERT HASS THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AS A SONG by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: TIME IS FILLED by LYN HEJINIAN OXOTA: A SHORT RUSSIAN NOVEL: CHAPTER 192 by LYN HEJINIAN LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A POEM BRINGS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA JUNE JOURNALS 6/25/88 by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA FOLLOW ROZEWICZ by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA HAVING INTENDED TO MERELY PICK ON AN OIL COMPANY, THE POEM GOES AWRY by HICOK.
