Love Lies Bleeding (Amarantus Caudatus)
Love lies bleeding in the bed whereover
Roses lean with smiling mouths or pleading:
Earth lies laughing where the sun’s dart clove her:
Love lies bleeding.
Swinburne—Love Lies Bleeding.
This flower that first appeared as summer’s guest
Preserves her beauty ’mid autumnal leaves
And to her mournful habits fondly cleaves.
Wordsworth—Love Lies Bleeding. (Companion Poem.)
