The sun each day scarce rises in its might

When, lo! too soon appears a sunset bright.

So, as a child, we scarce the light have seen,

E’er for each one, life’s sunset draws a screen.

SUNDIAL, 20th CENTURY.

There are hours for work and hours for play,

And hours appointed for men to pray;

But the hours we love, come, truly say,

Are hours for rest at the end of day.
