5 My Grandfather’s Clock
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
