Unto Ashes

Ah Sunflower

Unto Ashes


Ah Sunflower, weary of time 
Who countest the steps to the sun 
Seeking after that sweet golden climb 
Where the traveller's journey is done 
Where the youth pines away with desire 
And the pale virgin shrouded in snow 
Arise from their grave and aspire 
Where my sunflower wishes to go!
