Poem by Edith Louisa Sitwell

Serenade

The tremulous gold of stars within your hair
  Are yellow bees flown from the hive of night,
Finding the blossom of your eyes more fair
Than all the pale flowers folded from the light.
Then, Sweet, awake, and ope your dreaming eyes
Ere those bright bees have flown and darkness dies.
