Clocks

 

Still come no answer to my greatest question-

Am I two clocks, or am I only one?

I know my Body is wound up to go

A certain number of days, and all is done.

But in my mind another clock, wound up

To add its chimes to those immortal spheres;

One clock for Earth, to run its numbered days,

The other for my more-than-mortal years?

That is my question; this; my only finding-

One clock or two, there’ll be no further winding.
