Ah! Sun-flower
BY WILLIAM BLAKE
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.

DESKTOP 1601 - IT'S NOT SNOW...
New Spring (1)
Sitting underneath white branches
Far you hear winds are wailing;
Overhead you see the cloudbanks
Wrap themselves in misty veiling,
See how on bare field and forest
Cold and barren death is seizing;
Winter's round you, winter's in you,
And your very heart is freezing.
Suddenly white flakes come falling
Down on you; and vexed and soured
You suppose some tree has shaken
Over you a snowy shower.
But it is no snow that's fallen,
Soon you see with joyful start
Look, it's fragrant almond blossoms
Come to ease and tease your heart.
What a thrilling piece of magic!
Winter's turned to May for you,
Snow's transmuted into blossoms,
And your heart's in love anew.
Heinrich Heine (1797-1856)
