From four till six at eve The dog-watch they begin, And then at eight relieve Those that are turned in. As I lay on my bed, The night-watch strikes out four. 'Tis ten; I turn my head, And shake my pillow o'er. Now twelve o'clock is come, Eight sounds are struck from hell ; The sailor's work is done, Whilst others take a spell. THOUGHTS ON TIME. 175 The middle watch I know, When near at four o'clock, On land is heard to crow The lordly farm-house cock. At four the noisy hell Awakes all hands fro...m sleep ; But landsmen cannot tell If sailors laugh or weep. The time will ere long come, When on the land we get, To clasp the friends at home, Whom we've for years not met. It's time that does it all, That greatest innovator ; In honour or in fall It soothes or proves tormentor. Time waiteth not for kings ; Here mortals cannot stay ; And for the wisest things 'Tis always on its way. Then let us now improve The season at command ; The passing moments move To work with earnest hand. December 29th.
