Ah! Sunflower
William Blake , 1757 – 1827
Ah! sunflower, weary of time, Who countest the steps of the sun,
Seeking after that sweet golden clime Where the traveler’s journey is done;
Where the youth pined away with desire, And the pale virgin shrouded in snow,
Arise from their graves and aspire; Where my sunflower wishes to go.
