Description: Musical setting for Blake's Ah,Sunflower. Technically in SAT range, but probably best suited to female alto. In this sound file, cello used to simulate voice, though it may be higher than a cello would actually go in performance, but it seemed to have the right timbre for the voice here.

Ah, sun-flower, weary of time,
Who countest the steps of the sun;
Seeking after that sweet golden clime,
Where the traveller’s 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.
