FRAGMENT by RACHEL ANNAND TAYLOR

First Line: LOVE HATH FETTERS ON HIS FEET
Last Line: LOVE IS AT PENANCE. GO APART AND PRAY.
Subject(s): HEARTS; LOVE;

LOVE hath fetters on his feet.—
Never speak of these.
Love must use his knotted scourge,
Crouched upon his knees.
Let him alone. We must be still to-day.
Love is at penance. Go apart and pray.
