Poet Analysis

First Line: WITH WARNING HAND I MARK TIME'S RAPID FLIGHT
Last Line: THERE'S LIGHT ABOVE ME BY THE SHADE BELOW.
Subject(s): GOD; SUNDIALS;
WITH warning hand I mark Time's rapid flight
From life's glad morning to its solemn night;
Yet, through the dear God's love, I also show
There's Light above me by the Shade below.
