Algernon Charles Swinburne - Love Lies BleedingAlgernon Charles Swinburne - Love Lies Bleeding
Work rating: Medium


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 princes:  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.
