Dame Edith Sitwell Poems
- When Cold December
When cold December
Froze to grisamber
The jangling bells on the sweet rose-trees-
Then fading slow... - The Web Of Eros
Within your magic web of hair, lies furled
The fire and splendour of the ancient world;
The dire gold of the comet's wind-blown hair;
The songs that turned to gold the evening air... - The Fan
Lovely Semiramis
Closes her slanting eyes:
Dead is she long ago.
From her fan, sliding slow,... - Interlude
Amid this hot green glowing gloom
A word falls with a raindrop's boom…
Like baskets of ripe fruit in air... - Clowns' Houses
Beneath the flat and paper sky
The sun, a demon's eye,
Glowed through the air, that mask of glass;
All wand'ring sounds that pass...
