Sappho, the Grecian hills are gold ...
Sappho, the Grecian hills are gold,
And Grecian girls are not,
But I was bred on Devon wold
And rode with Lancelot.
From a letter to Tevis Clyde Smith, ca. November-December 1928; titled with the first line in COLLECTED POETRY
Sappho, the Grecian hills are gold,
And Grecian girls are not,
But I was bred on Devon wold
And rode with Lancelot.
