My Grandfather's Clock
My grandfather's clock was to large for the shelf
- My grandfather's clock was to large for the shelf
- So it stood ninety years on the floor
- It was taller by half than the old man himself
- Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
- It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born
- And was always his treasure and pride
- But it stopped short never to go again when the old man died
- Ninety years without slumbering tick tock tick tock
- His life seconds numbering tick tock tick tock
- It stopped short never to go again when the old man died
- In watching its pendulum swing to and fro
- Many hours had he spent while a boy
- And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know
- And to share both his grief and his joy
- For it struck twenty-four when he entered the door
- With a blooming and beautiful bride
- But it stopped short never to go again when the old man died
- It rang an alarm in the dead of the night
- An alarm that for years had been dumb
- And we know that his spirit was pluming its flight
- That his hour of departure had come
- Still the clock kept the time with a soft muffled chime
- As we silently stood by his side
- But it stopped short never to go again when the old man died
- Ninety years without slumbering tick tock tick tock
- His life seconds numbering tick tock tick tock
- It stopped short never to go again when the old man died
- It stopped short never to go again when the old man died
