Ah! Sunflower is a poem written by the English poet William Blake. It was published as part of his collection Songs of Experience in 1794.
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.
Allen Ginsberg had an auditory hallucination of Blake reading "Ah, Sunflower".
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.
