WITH FLOWERS IN OUR HANDS by JOHN COWPER POWYS

First Line: COME LET US WALK THRO' THEIR BURNING HELL
Last Line: HAVE TO HURT US WHO CARRY FLOWERS!
Subject(s): EVIL; FLOWERS; HELL; WALKING;

Come let us walk thro' their burning hell
With flowers in our hands!
With flowers in our hands let us walk there,
And see what power that evil air,
That evil air and those burning hours,
Have to hurt us who carry flowers!
