field of green


Ah, Sunflower, weary of time,
  Who countest the steps of the sun;
    Seeking after that sweet golden clime,
      Where the traveller’s journal 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!
– William Blake
