SHE wrapped her flesh in raiment which the Hours And Graces made and dipped in springtime flowers, All that the Hours bring forth. Crocus they bring, Bluebell and violet brave-blossoming, Roses with lovely buds and nectarous scent, Ambrosial petals of the jonquil blent With lily-cups. So Aphrodite wore Clothes that the scent of every season bore. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DRESSING MY DAUGHTERS by MARK JARMAN IT'S HARD TO KEEP A CLEAN SHIRT CLEAN by JUNE JORDAN ODE TO A DRESSMAKER'S DUMMY by DONALD JUSTICE THE RED SHIRT by PHILIP LEVINE THE THINGS IN BLACK MEN?ÇÖS CLOSETS by E.
