Answer 3

Well I have the translation by Mary barnard and it is all fragments i do not understand them. One poem is called epithalamia and begins with the words "the evening star" and another begins with the words you know the place: then Leave crete and come to us waiting where the grove is pleasantest by precincts

Answer 4

Let me look for them. Keep in mind that Sappho wrote so long ago, that there's not much left except fragments. Paper will rot in wet climates!

Hold on ...

The translations are all over the place -- different interpretations, etc.
