Ah! Sunflower - The Poem

The Poem

Ah Sun-flower! weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the Sun:
Seeking after that sweet golden clime
Where the travellers 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 Sun-flower wishes to go.

Famous quotes containing the word poem:

    The poem must resist the intelligence
    Almost successfully.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    From this the poem springs: that we live in a place
    That is not our own and, much more, not ourselves
    And hard it is in spite of blazoned days.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
