We promise great things for the morrow,
No matter how bright the sun’s ray;
But oft we’re defeated by sorrow,
So why not fulfil them to-day.
SUNDIAL IN THE GROUNDS OF BROUGHTON HALL, Nr. BANBURY.
“A stitch taken in time saves nine,”
Not so with each hour that I mark;
These increase on this dial mine,
And you lose what I gain ’til dark.
