THE COCK by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: BEFORE A CLOCK WAS IN THE TOWER
Last Line: THE OLDEST CHRONICLER OF TIME.
Subject(s): ROOSTERS; TIME; COCKS;
Before a clock was in the tower
Or e'er a watch was worn,
I knew of night the passing hour
And prophesied the morn;
To man of every age and clime
The oldest chronicler of time.
