I sing “Ah! Sunflower” by William Blake accompanied by 13 Paintings of Sunflowers by Charles Burchfield

…..

 

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.
