BUCOLIC COMEDY: COUNTRY COUSIN: VARIATION 3, by EDITH SITWELL Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: The clouds are bunched roses Last Line: On a budding branch heard. Subject(s): Roses | ||||||||
Song THE clouds are bunched roses, And the bunches seem As thick as cream, Country dozes and I dream. In a gown like a cauliflower. My country cousin is -- So said Susie And her sister Liz. Blossoms hang on trees above, Soft and thick as any dove, They mock my love; Yet I pluck those feathers sweet With my cold coral hands so like the Small cold feet Of a little sad bird, On a budding branch heard. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WHISPER OF THE ROSE by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG THE WISDOM OF THE ROSE by ELSA BARKER LOVE PLANTED A ROSE by KATHARINE LEE BATES ROSES; A VILANELLE by LOUISA SARAH BEVINGTON THE PAINTER ON SILK by AMY LOWELL VARIATIONS: 17 by CONRAD AIKEN WORDS IN A CERTAIN APPROPRIATE MODE by HAYDEN CARRUTH AN OLD WOMAN: 2.
