Paraphrases. I. Erinna

Lang-And

BRIEF is Erinna’s song, her lowly lay,

Yet there the Muses sing;

Therefore her memory doth not pass away,

Hid by Night’s shadowy wing!

But we,—new countless poets,—heaped and hurled

All in oblivion lie;

Better the swan’s chant than a windy world

Of rooks in the April sky!
