Daphne
I, moon, drink moon and from a curly
Dark horn of wine; I, green a willow,
See, I, a frog-green pool, moon-shallow.
I one, I other; late or early,
I, dew, come up; I, Christian, hallow
Unholy reeds I, Pan, had shivered
To flute a song. I, dark Apollo,
Pursue, I, Daphne – flowery laurel.
I her, I him: I, bow quick-quivered,
I, heart – a-lack – shot with the arrow!
– C.H. Manuel (1935)
