Daphne
by Edna St. Vincent Millay
Daphne was published in Millay's collection, A Few Figs from Thistles (1920).
Why do you follow me?— Any moment I can be Nothing but a laurel-tree. Any moment of the chase I can leave you in my place A pink bough for your embrace. Yet if over hill and hollow Still it is your will to follow, I am off;—to heel, Apollo!
