Grandfather's Clock - Harold Williams[00:00:00]
My grandfather's clock[00:00:05]
Was too large for the shelf[00:00:07]
So it stood ninety years on the floor[00:00:10]
It was taller by half[00:00:14]
Than the old man himself[00:00:17]
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more[00:00:19]
It was bought on the morn[00:00:24]
Of the day that he was born[00:00:26]
And was always his treasure and pride[00:00:29]
But it stopped short[00:00:34]
Never to go again[00:00:37]
When the old man died[00:00:38]
Ninety years without slumbering[00:00:44]
Tick tock tick tock[00:00:47]
His life seconds numbering[00:00:49]
Tick tock tick tock[00:00:51]
It stopped short[00:00:54]
Never to go again[00:00:56]
When the old man died[00:00:58]
In watching it's pendulum[00:01:08]
Swing to and fro[00:01:10]
Many hours had he spent while a boy[00:01:12]
And in childhood and manhood[00:01:17]
The clock seemed to know[00:01:20]
And to share both his grief and his joy[00:01:22]
For it struck twenty-four[00:01:26]
When he entered at the door[00:01:28]
With a blooming and beautiful bride[00:01:31]
But it stopped short[00:01:35]
Never to go again[00:01:38]
When the old man died[00:01:40]
Ninety years without slumbering[00:01:45]
Tick tock tick tock[00:01:48]
His life seconds numbering[00:01:50]
Tick tock tick tock[00:01:52]
It stopped short[00:01:55]
Never to go again[00:01:57]
When the old man died[00:01:59]
It rang an alarm[00:02:09]
In the dead of the night[00:02:11]
An alarm that for years had been dumb[00:02:14]
And we knew that his spirit[00:02:19]
Was pluming his flight[00:02:21]
That his hour of departure had come[00:02:24]
Still the clock kept the time[00:02:29]
With a soft and muffled chime[00:02:32]
As we silently stood by his side[00:02:34]
But it stopped short[00:02:40]
Never to go again[00:02:44]
When the old man died[00:02:46]
Ninety years without slumbering[00:02:52]
Tick tock tick tock[00:02:55]
His life seconds numbering[00:02:57]
Tick tock tick tock[00:03:00]
It stopped short[00:03:02]
Never to go again[00:03:05]
When the old man died[00:03:07]
Tick tock[00:03:14]
