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.

    The poem is the cry of its occasion,
    Part of the res itself and not about it.

    As a globed fruit,

    As old medallions to the thumb,
