Cold is the wind where Daphne sleeps
Daphne, a symbol of beauty and grace, lies asleep in a field of wildflowers. The cold wind blows gently around her, evoking a sense of peacefulness and tranquility. Despite the chill in the air, Daphne remains unperturbed, lost in her dreams.

First lines
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.
