SUNFLOWER. 149 
Is on the sky, mark how it folds its leaves, 
And droops its head, and weeps sweet tears of dew,— 
The constant sunflower. 
THE SUNFLOWER. 
HOOD. 
I witt not have the mad Clytie, 
Whose head’s turned by the sun ; 
The tulip is a courtly queen, 
Whom therefore I will shun ; 
The cowslip is a country wench, 
The violet is a nun ;— 
But I will woo the dainty rose, 
The queen of every one. 
SUNFLOWER. 
SHELLEY. 
LIGHT-ENCHANTED sunflower ! Thou 
Who gazest ever true and tender 
On the sun’s revolving splendor, 
Follow not his faithless glance 
With thy faded countenance ; 
Nor teach my beating. heart to fear, 
If leaves can mourn without a tear, 
How eyes must weep.
