The Poems of Sappho: Erotika: Dithyrambs: To Alcæus

The Poems of Sappho, by John Myers O'Hara, [1910] Countless are the cups thou drainest In thy hymns to Dionysos,                O Alcæus! War and wine alone thou singest;— Wherefore not of Aphrodite,                O Alcæus! Spacious halls are thine where many Trophies hang in Ares’ honor,                O Alcæus! Brazen shields and shining helmets, Plates of brass, Chalcidian broad-swords,                O Alcæus! When with winter roars the Thracian North wind through the leafless forest,                O Alcæus! Thou dost heap the fire and banish Care with many a tawny goblet,                O Alcæus!
