dolce ridente Saffo.

Sul mio capo che molto ha sofferto
e sul petto canuto
sparga qualcuno la mirra.

Già sulle rive dello Xanto ritornano i cavalli,
gli uccelli di palude scendono dal cielo,
dalle cime dei monti
si libera azzurra fredda l'acqua e la vite
fiorisce e la verde canna spunta.
Già nelle valli risuonano
canti di primavera.

Ma d'intrecciate corolle di aneto
ora qualcuno ci circondi il collo
e dolce olio profumato versi
a noi sul petto.

Io già sento primavera
che s'avvicina coi suoi fiori;
versatemi presto una tazza di vino dolcissimo.

O conchiglia marina, figlia
della pietra e del mare biancheggiante,
tu meravigli la mente dei fanciulli.
