Två Sapfosånger

När en gång du är död ligger du glömd. 
Aldrig en eftervärld minnes mera ditt namn,
ty du har ej plockat en enda ros på Pierias fält.
Okänd du då irrar i Hades hus,
svävar namnlös omkring,
endast en tom skugga i skuggors krets.

Plejaderna sjunkit och
månen
gått ned och midnatt
är inne.
Vår mötestimma är
liden
men ännu ligger jag
ensam.
