Analysis of Prayer for a profusion of sunflowers
Amy Lowell 1874 (Brookline) – 1925 (Brookline)
Send sunflowers!
With my turkey-bone whistle
I am calling the birds
To sing upon the sunflowers.
For when the clouds hear them singing
They will come quickly,
And rain will fall upon our fields.
Send sunflowers!
