My grandfather's clock was to large for the shelf'[00:00:03]
So it stood ninety years on the floor;[00:00:09]
It was taller by half than the old man himself'[00:00:16]
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.[00:00:23]
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born'[00:00:30]
And was always his treasure and pride.[00:00:37]
But it stopped short' Never to go again'[00:00:44]
When the old man died..[00:00:50]
In watching its pendulum swing to and fro'[00:00:58]
Many hours had he spent while a boy;[00:01:04]
And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know'[00:01:11]
And to share both his grief and his joy.[00:01:18]
For it struck twenty-four when he entered the door'[00:01:25]
With a blooming and beautiful bride.[00:01:32]
But it stopped short' Never to go again'[00:01:38]
When the old man died..[00:01:45]
Ninety years without slumbering[00:01:52]
Tick' tock' tick' tock'[00:01:57]
His life seconds numbering'[00:02:00]
Tick' tock' tick' tock[00:02:03]
It stopped short' Never to go again[00:02:07]
When the old man died.[00:02:13]
And it kept in its place' not a frown upon its face'[00:02:20]
And its hands never hung by its side;[00:02:26]
But it stopped short' Never to go again'[00:02:33]
When the old man died..[00:02:40]
It rang an alarm in the dead of the night'[00:03:03]
An alarm that for years had been dumb;[00:03:09]
And we know that his spirit was pluming its flight'[00:03:16]
That his hour of departure had come.[00:03:23]
Still the clock kept the time'[00:03:30]
With a soft muffled chime'[00:03:33]
As we silently stood by his side;[00:03:37]
But it stopped short' Never to go again'[00:03:44]
When the old man died..[00:03:50]
When the old man died..[00:03:58]
