I go away and come again each day,

"Horas non numero nisi serenas."
There stands in the garden of old St. Mark
A sun dial quaint and gray.

Its motto the live day long.

The index pointing at Him is our soul;
Death the horizon, when our sun is set,
Which will through Christ a resurrection get.

Night brings our troubles to the light, rather than banishes them.

I mark my hours by shadow;
Mayest thou mark thine
By sunshine.
