by Kostis Palamas (1859 - 1943)

Sperma tēs Chamkōs
Language: Greek (Ελληνικά) 
Sperma tēs Chamkōs, dernesai
mes’ sto lagno charemi.
'Ypno zētas, ochi erōta,
ma ki o ypnos se tremei.

Se dibani chrysostrōto
gerneis prosōpo chioni.
Alla to Soyli to aparto
sa brachnas se plakōnei.

Mono skymmenē apanō su
se chaideyei ē akribē su,
san puli pu tha saleue
stēn akrē mias abyssu.
