Daphne (Laurel Tree) |
| Hope and fear |
| Left her colorless face without mirth |
| Sweet Daphne, the priestess of Old Mother Earth |
| Saw a stranger coming near |
| Full of pride |
| Still mighty Apollo desired |
| The God of all Arts gently playing his lyre |
| Needs a nymph to guard his night |
| Safe and sound |
| Daphne lived in the mountains, protecting the ground |
| A wild virgin girl |
| In a heavenly world |
| Breaking Apollo s heart |
| Whatever happens, her goddess will ward… |
| Chasing his love through the mountains and hills |
| Slave of a world full of passionate thrills |
| Dreaming of being embraced by her arms |
| Could not resist all her magical charms |
| But meaning no harm |
| Please don t forsake me in hours of need |
| Fallen a victim to Apollo s greed |
| Goddess of Earth, she cried so desperately |
| If I can t escape won t you please let me be |
| A wild laurel tree |
| Sacred tree |
| Oh to worship, to cherish and always be near thee |
| Your leaves will serve |
| To those with the urge |
| To give beauty to words… |
