From limb to limb I climb in within
The heart of the laurel tree,
Where art thou, my maiden fair,
Where can sweet Daphne be?

I climb higher branch to branch,
Within tree’s canopy,
But I find not of whom I seek,
Within the laurel tree.

Daphne dear where do thee hide?
Do not thee hear my call?
As I reach the highest limb,
Of laurel tree so tall.

I feel you near, my Daphne dear,
What hath thy father done?
The object of my heart’s desire,
And laurel tree are one.

I cut thy twigs with leaves of green,
And form them in a wreath,
A symbol of a sacred love,
I e’er to thee bequeath.
