The Clock Tower

Sebastian Onciu on Aug 3, 2011

A poem inspired by a symbol of the medieval town of Sighisoara in Transylvania.

Standing proud above the town

Impressive in its majestic power

It’s the jewel of the crown

The city’s mighty clock tower.

***

It was built long time ago

As the citadel’s main gate

And it ruled the town below

Witnessing its changing fate.

***

Even in times of distress

Of hard battles,plague and fire

The great tower,symbol of progress

Stood up for everyone to admire.

***

You’ll see it wherever you walk

And be astonished by its beauty

Cause the tower and its metal clock

Will always be there on duty!
