Songs of Experience: Ah, Sunflower

Tuesday 3 August 2004.
 
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!
