Algernon Charles Swinburn

Love Lies Bleeding

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.
