O busy clock the hour I want could finish and let us be

Making certain

I dare not reckon myself sure till I have it in my mind the rusted table not pretty my books not neat the clasp of an hour or two is brought to a head

Leonora Speyer

(They put back the clocks at two A. M.) TO-NIGHT, I think each sleepy clock Will lift a pedant's protest to the skies From many a town's high tower: — Tick-tock — tick-tock — Rude hands presume to put us back — Tick-tack — One hour! — Time will not wait, they say, Nor sun: Yet is this vast thing done? Shall the slow day Submit, the calm moon cower? O shadowy wings that lean in flight, O night! Before your star-eyed birds are flown.

Hazel Hall

Three Songs for Sewing 3

One by one, one by one, Stitches of the hours run Through the fine seams of the day, Till like a garment it is done And laid away. One by one the days go by, And suns climb up and down the sky; One by one their seams are run — As Time's untiring fingers ply And life is done.
