Dame Edith Louisa Sitwell Long Poems

... - 3. Eventail
Lovely Semiramis
Closes her slanting eyes:
Dead is she long ago,
From her fan sliding slow
... - 4. Bells Of Gray Crystal

The swans' breath will mist all
The cold airs now.
... - 5. The Fan
LOVELY Semiramis
Closes her slanting eyes:
Dead is she long ago.
From her fan, sliding slow,
