GRANDFATHER’S CLOCK

My Grandfather’s clock was too 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’s seconds numbering tick tock, tick tock; It stopped short never to go again, When the old man died.
