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