<h2 id="id00458" style="margin-top: 4em">A SONG OF POPPIES</h2>
<p id="id00459">I love red poppies! Imperial red poppies!<br/>
Sun-worshippers are they;<br/>
Gladly as trees live through a hundred summers<br/>
They live one little day.<br/></p>
<p id="id00460">I love red poppies! Impassioned scarlet poppies!<br/>
Ever their strange perfume<br/>
Seems like an essence brewed by fairy people<br/>
From an immortal bloom.<br/></p>
<p id="id00461">I love red poppies! Red, silken, swaying poppies!<br/>
Deep in their hearts they keep<br/>
A magic cure for woe—a draught of Lethe—<br/>
A lotus-gift of sleep.<br/></p>
<p id="id00462">I love red poppies! Soft silver-stemmed, red poppies,<br/>
That from the rain and sun<br/>
Gather a balm to heal some earth-born sorrow,<br/>
When their glad day is done.<br/></p>
