Sunflower

You elongated garden plant

Bearing large flowers with golden petals

As golden as a sunset

Round a dark centre

As dark as a dungeon

Breeding seeds that yield

The edible oil

You are from the soil

Oh, sunflower from the field

Tired of time

Under a flaxen clime

You are the blonde

Under that sun

Paving the ground

Oh sunflower

Asphalt the earth with your resplendent flourish
