| I know a Mount the gracious Sun perceives | B |
| First when he visits last too when he leaves | B |
| The world and vainly favoured it repays | C |
| The day long glory of his steadfast gaze | C |
| By no change of its large calm front of snow | D |
| And underneath the Mount a Flower I know | D |
| He cannot have perceived that changes ever | E |
| At his approach and in the lost endeavour | E |
| To live his life has parted one by one | F |
| With all a flower's true graces for the grace | G |
| Of being but a foolish mimic sun | F |
| With ray like florets round a disk like face | G |
| Men nobly call by many a name the Mount | H |
| As over many a land of theirs its large | I |
| Calm front of snow like a triumphal targe | I |
| Is reared and still with old names fresh names vie | A |
| Each to its proper praise and own account | H |
| Men call the Flower the Sunflower sportively | J |

| Dear Pilgrim are thou for the East indeed | L |
| Go Saying ever as thou dost proceed | L |
| That I French Rudel choose for my device | M |
| A sunflower outspread like a sacrifice | M |
| Before its idol See These inexpert | L |
| And hurried fingers could not fail to hurt | L |
| The woven picture 'tis a woman's skill | J |
| Indeed but nothing baffled me so ill | J |
| Or well the work is finished Say men feed | L |
| On songs I sing and therefore bask the bees | N |
| On my flower's breast as on a platform broad | L |
| But as the flower's concern is not for these | N |
| But solely for the sun so men applaud | L |
| In vain this Rudel he not looking here | O |
| But to the East that East Go say this Pilgrim dear | P |
