The 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 traveller’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.
