by Richard Fedor Leopold Dehmel (1863 - 1920)

Zwischen Leukas und Ithaka
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Durch dieses Meer trieb einst in irrer Not
Odysseus seinem treuen Weib entgegen.
Durch dieses Meer trieb wild im Liebestod
Sapphos zerbrochner Leib der Nacht entgegen.
Durch dieses Meer treibt nun im Morgenrot
mein Herz, Geliebte, Dir entgegen.

Confirmed with Richard Dehmel, Gesammelte Werke in drei Bänden, Zweiter Band, Berlin, S. Fischer, Verlag. 1913, page 115.
