My Sundial Oath

I only tell of sunny hours... 
then rest at night along with flowers.
No one will come in dark of night
to read the time I show in light.

I only tell of sunny hours;
the bright sunrise, my surface scours
to make my sundial shadow best
for time that is the pleasantest.

I only tell of sunny hours;
you see I have the magic powers...
to tell time's measure, work or play,
throughout the brilliance of your day.
