THE CLOCK by HANIEL (CLARK) LONG

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE CLOCK IS IN A GARDEN WIDE
Last Line: AND STRIKES ETERNITY.
Subject(s): CLOCKS; TIME;

The clock is in a garden wide,
And there it keeps the hours,
And even finds a way to hide
Its face among the flowers.

The clock is in a hive of bees,
The clock is in a fountain -
It's here, it's there, it's in the trees
Yonder up a mountain.

At times it's all all that I can hear -
No surer clock could be -
For it is always somewhere near,
And strikes eternity.
