My Grandfather's Clock - Eliza Lacerda
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 penny weight 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 as a boy

And in childhood and manhood
The clock seemed to know
And share both his grief and his joy
And it struck twenty four
When he entered at the door
With a blooming and beautiful bride

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 rang an alarm
In the dead of the night
An alarm that for years had been dumb

And we knew that his spirit
Was pluming his flight
That his hour of departure had come

Still the clock kept the time
With a soft and muffled chime
As we silently stood by his side

But it stopped short
Never to go again
When the old man died
