Auden, W.H. The Witnesses (excerpt.)

What had he done to be treated thus?
If you want to know, he'd offended us: for yes,
We guard the wells, we're handy with a gun
We've a very special sense of fun, we curse and bless

You are the town, and we are the clock,
We are the guardians of the gate in the rock, the Two;
On your left, and on your right,
In the day, and in the night we are watching you.
