    «Προ σου»

    ΠΡΟ ΣΟΥ

    Πρὸ σοῦ μὲ πνίγει πλήμμυρα μυρίων αἰσθημάτων,
    Χαρᾶς, γαλήνης, πίστεως, ἁγνότητος, ἐλπίδος.
    Οὕτω προχεῖται σύνολον ποικίλων ἀρωμάτων
    Ἀπὸ ἀνθῶν δεσμίδος.

    Ἀλλ' ὡς προέχει ῥόδον τι τῆς δέσμης τῶν ἀνθέων
    Καὶ πέριξ του συμπλέκονται τὰ ἄλλα ἐπικαίρως,
    Οὕτω τῶν αἰσθημάτων μου, ἄνθος ῥοδῆς ὡραῖον,
    Ὑπέρκειται ὁ ἔρως.

    1878
