The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power,

To tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour.

Now is the only time we own, live, love, toil with a will:

Place no faith in tomorrow, for the clock may then be still.

All inquiries to Pitcher & Le Quesne, Funeral Directors, telephone 733330.
