A charming write on Sitwell

A better source with some of her poems

Daisy and Lily,
Lazy and Silly,
Walk by the shore of the wan grassy sea, ?
Talking once more ?neath a swan-bosomed tree.
Rose castles,
Tourelles,
Those bustles
Where swells
Each foam-bell of ermine,
They roam and determine
What fashions have been and what fashions will be

wan - pale

Tourelles - A type of fancy vertical turret on medieval castle

ermine - White, or white colored coat of a type of weasel called ermine
