The Dust of Timas (Sappho)
by Edwin Arlington Robinson
This dust was Timas; and they say
That almost on her wedding dayt
She found her bridal home to bet
The dark house of Persephone.t
And many maidens, knowing thent
That she would not come back again,
Unbound their curls; and all in tears,t
They cut them off with sharpened shears.
