| William Stanley Braithwaite, ed. The Book of Georgian Verse. 1909. | | | | Sappho to Hesperus | | By Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864) |
| | | I HAVE beheld thee in the morning hour | |
| A solitary star, with thankless eyes, | |
| Ungrateful as I am! who bade thee rise | |
| When sleep all night had wandered from my bower. | |
| |
| Can it be true that thou art he | 5 |
| Who shines now above the sea | |
| Amid a thousand, but more bright? | |
| Ah yes! the very same art thou | |
| That heard me then and hearest now … | |
| Thou seemest, star of love! to throb with light. | 10 | | | |
