Here you will find the Poem Each morning I pass on my way to work of poet Lesbia Harford

Each morning I pass on my way to work

Each morning I pass on my way to work 
A clock in a tower 
And I look towards it with anxious eyes 
To make sure of the hour. 
But the sun gets up at the back of the tower 
With a flare and a blaze 
Hiding the time and the tower from my sight 
In a blissful haze. 
'I am the marker of time' says the sun. 
Taken unawares, 
I believe for the nonce he is lord of the day 
And am rid of my cares.
