Comprehension Passage
Read the given poem and answer the following questions -
When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;

And sable curls, all silvered o’er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves,
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer’s green all girded up in sheaves.
