Chapter Headings. «Oh Love, the Flowers so Red...»

Oh Love, the flowers so red
Are only tongues of flame,
The earth is full of the dead,
The new-killed, restless dead.
There is danger beneath and o’erhead.
And I guard thy gates in fear
Of words thou canst not hear,
Of peril and jeopardy,
Of signs thou canst not see —
And thou sayest ’tis ill that I came?

THE NAULAHKA.
