The Palace Garden: Arabius (527–567 A.D.)

By The Greek Anthology

Translation of John William Mackail

I AM filled with waters, and gardens, and groves, and vineyards, and the joyousness of the bordering sea; and fisherman and farmer from different sides stretch forth to me the pleasant gifts of sea and land: and them who abide in me, either a bird singing or the sweet cry of the ferrymen lulls to rest.
