Extracts from Songs of Experience: Ah, Sunflower

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!
