The Sun-dial
The sun-dial stands amidst its shrubs and grassAnd marks the time of day for all who pass.Nineteen-hundred-six, the long since gone,Still lingers here for each succeeding class.
"Make the passing shadow serve thy will,"Students have read, and tarried here untilA favorite place for kodaks it became.Now sun-dial pictures many albums fill.
"Amidst ye flowers I tell ye howres," you see."Take tent o' time ere time be tent." Ah, me!Such sage advice the young since Omar's timeHave read,—and hastened on in liberty.
