DAPHNE by THOMAS SAMUEL JONES JR.

First Line: DO YOU NOT HEAR HER SONG
Last Line: HALF TREE?
Subject(s): FANTASY; TREES; WOMEN;

DO YOU not hear her song
When rosy showers fall
And forest whispers call
Along?

Do you not hear her feet
Now faint among the leaves—
Or is't the wind that grieves
So sweet?

Do you her face not see
Mid laurels of a glade
Where sunbeams pass—half maid
Half tree?
