Bliss Carman · Sappho: One Hundred Lyrics

Poem 94 of 100 · Book I

Cold is the wind where Daphne sleeps,

— ✻ —

Cold is the wind where Daphne sleeps,
That was so tender and so warm
With loving,—with a loveliness
Than her own laurel lovelier.

Now pipes the bitter wind for her,
And the snow sifts about her door,
While far below her frosty hill
The racing billows plunge and boom.
