Uncommon handwritten poem by Edith Sitwell entitled "A Young Girl's Song," one page both sides, 8 x 13, signed in the upper right corner. The poem reads, in part: "The King of Nowhere said to me— / Nodding his wintery crown / that seemed an ass's crown of ears / Or a broken town— / 'Young girl, your love begs 'Give to me / your body, for your sail / Is only an illusion! But, ' / Said the winter air / (The aged King of Nowhere) / 'You must lay your body body by, / as other women may lay bare / Their bodies to the foolish air / That they call 'Love'; Nowhere, alone, / Shall then be Lovers' Town." In fine condition, with intersecting folds and light handling wear.
