My grandfather's clockWas too large for the shelfSo it stood ninety years on the floorIt was taller by halfThan the old man himselfThough it weighed not a pennyweightmore It was bought on the mornOf the day that he was bornAnd was always his treasure and prideBut it stopped shortNever to go againWhen the old man died Ninety years without slumberingTick, tock, tick, tockHis life seconds numberingTick, tock, tick, tockIt stopped shortNever to go againWhen the old man died It rang an alarmIn the dead of the nightAn alarm that for years had been dumbAnd we knew that his spiritWas pluming for flightThat his hour of departure had come Still the clock kept the timeWith a soft and muffled chimeAs we silently stood by his sideBut it stopped shortNever to go againWhen the old man died Ninety years without slumberingTick, tock, tick, tockHis life seconds numberingTick, tock, tick, tockIt stopped shortNever to go againWhen the old man diedIt stopped shortNever to go againWhen the old man died
