To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The date is i 738. It seems to have been calculated for another place, and built in the wall in such manner as to counteract the declension.
On the gable of a picturesque old church at Wyckliffe, on the Lees, is a dial, which was once painted red with a green border.
And another is seen on a church at Haydon, Northumberland. There is no date on this dial, but the church was rebuilt in 1 796, and the dial dates, in all probability, from then.

For as in sunshine only can we read The march of minutes on the dial's face, So, in the shadow of this lonely place There is no love and time is dead.

The dial above the doorway.
His face was gray, hoary As in a dream did measure The sultry summer day.
And ever tempus fugit, Hoc, age, said the stone, But who should mind his warning?
