TO EVENING

by: Sappho

      HESPERUS! Thou bringest all things home;
      All that the garish day hath scattered wide;
      The sheep, the goat, back to the welcome fold;
      Thou bring'st the child, too, to his mother's side.

This English translation, by William Hyde Appleton, of 'To Evening' is reprinted from Greek Poets in English Verse. Ed. William Hyde Appleton. Cambridge: The Riverside Press, 1893.
