Cool'd a long age in the deep-delved earth,

Tasting of Flora and the country green,

The danger is past,

And the lingering illness

Is over at last—

And the fever called "Living"

Is conquered at last.


(from “For Annie” by Edgar Allan Poe)

4.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;
