You golden sunflowers, <br /> <br />Tenderly inclined toward death, <br /> <br />You sisters full of humility <br /> <br />In such stillness <br /> <br />Helian's year <br /> <br />Of mountainous coolness ends. <br /> <br />Then his drunken forehead <br /> <br />Pales from kisses <br /> <br />Amid those golden <br /> <br />Flowers of gloom <br /> <br />The spirit is determined <br /> <br />By silent sinisterness.<br /><br />Georg Trakl<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/die-sunflowers/
