    To set the sundial on this site we set the hour in stone
    What time? we wondered "should we choose if we could choose but
    When winter chill invades the bone when icy winds do blast
    Will people stop to check the tie? Or will they hurry past?
    Set summer breezes please us all and so too summer sun
    People linger out of door until they warmth is gone
    To set the sundial on this site we set the hour in stone
    We chose the daylight savings time when all was said and done.
