THE CLOCK, by HANIEL (CLARK) LONG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: The clock is in a garden wide

Subject(s): Clocks; Time
First Line: The clock is in a garden wide
Last Line: And strikes eternity.
Subject(s): Clocks; Time
The clock is in a garden wide,
And there it keeps the hours,
And even finds a way to hide
Its face among the flowers.
The clock is in a hive of bees,
The clock is in a fountain -
It's here, it's there, it's in the trees
Yonder up a mountain.
At times it's all all that I can hear -
No surer clock could be -
For it is always somewhere near,
And strikes eternity.
