    Our life's a flying shadow, God's the pole,
    The index pointing at Him is our soul;
    Death the horizon, when our sun is set,
    Which will through Christ a resurrection get.

"Horas non numero nisi serenas."
There stands in the garden of old St. Mark
A sun dial quaint and gray.
It takes no heed of the hours which in dark
Pass o'er it day by day.
It has stood for ages amid the flowers
In that land of sky and song.
"I number none but the cloudless hours,"
Its motto the live day long.

If o'er the dial glides a shade, redeem
The time for lo! it passes like a dream;
But if 'tis all a blank, then mark the loss
Of hours unblest by shadows from the cross.

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

Mayest thou mark thine
