    "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.

Once at a potent leader's voice I stayed;
Once I went back when a good monarch prayed;
Mortals, howe'er we grieve, howe'er deplore,
The flying shadow will return no more.

Thou breathing dial! since thy day began
The present hour was ever mark'd with shade.
