Explore "The Fairy Clock" by Virna Sheard on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Silver clock! O silver clock! tell to me the time o' day! / Is there yet a little hour left for us to work and play? / Tell me when the sun will set -- tiny globe of silver-grey.
It has been so glad a world since the coming of the morn, / Oft I wondered when I met any souls who seemed forlorn -- / And I scarce gave heed to those who were old or travel worn.
