v1
I saw the danger Yet I walked Along the enchanted way
And I said, let grief be a fallen leaf At the dawning of the day

v2
Deep ravine...
I've always thought of this as a sort of Lover's Leap reference but I don't know the geography refered to.
Queen of Hearts...
The Queen of Hearts she made some tarts all on a summers day. (nursery rhyme)
Make hay while the sun shines. (proverb)
er.. this is poetry, its job is to get large images into small sentences, I think.

v3
Ah, so you don't know the secret sign eh ? Then you can't be an artist who's "known the true gods of sound and stone" ;-)
