Sappho: Fragment 2

Come to me from Krete to this holy temple,  here to your sweet apple grove,  altars smoking with  frankincense. Cold water ripples through apple branches, the whole place shadowed in roses,  from the murmuring leaves deep sleep descends. Where horses graze, the meadow blooms spring flowers in the winds breathe softly . . .  * Here, Aphrodite, after gathering . . .  pour into cups nectar lavishly mingled with joys.
