Ah! Sunflower!

Ah! Sunflower, weary of time,

Who countest the steps of the sun,

Seeking after that sweet golden clime

Where the traveler'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!
