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. Stately shine his purple plumes, exceeding Pride of princess: nor shall maid or lover Find on earth a fairer sign worth heeding. Yet may love, sore wounded, scarce recover Strength and spirit again, with life receding: Hope and joy, wind-winged, about him hover: Love lies bleeding. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DRINKING SONG, FR.
