Άντιστροφή + 

O blowing wind! you bring my sorrow near, + 

For surely borne with splashing of the oar, + 

And hidden in some galley-prison drear + 

I shall be led unto that distant shore + 

Where the tall palm-tree first took root, and made, + 

With clustering laurel leaves, a pleasant shade + 

For Leto when with travail great she bore + 

A god and goddess in Love’s bitter fight, + 

Her body’s anguish, and her soul’s delight. + 

It may be in Delos, + 

Encircled of seas, + 

I shall sing with some maids + 

From the Cyclades, + 

Of Artemis goddess + 

And queen and maiden, + 

Sing of the gold + 

In her hair heavy-laden. + 

Sing of her hunting, + 

Her arrows and bow, + 

And in singing find solace + 

From weeping and woe. + 
