Ye Sundial Booke

by T. Geoffrey W. Henslow

Many a man with sunless heart,

Envies me my simple part;

Yet a cheerful face like mine,

They can have when sun doth shine.

SUNDIAL, COUNTESS OF PEMBROKE’S, APPLEBY.

I stand a monument to all,

Of hours that are beyond recall.

I stand a monument to some,

The hour you see, and hours to come.
