Ye Sundial Booke

by T. Geoffrey W. Henslow

O swift is seen the lightning’s flash,

And soon is passed the thunder crash;

But naught can ever faster be,

Than time going imperceptibly.

GLASS SUNDIAL, OLD PARSONAGE, DIDSBURY.

Ruled by the light,

In space ruled you see,

Men tell aright,

What time it may be.
