Grand Father's Clock 大きな古時計
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 stopp'd short, never to go again
When the old man died.
Ninety years without slumbering, tick, tick, tick, tick,
His life seconds numbering, tick, tick, tick, tick,
But it stopp'd 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 to share both his grief and his joy.
For it struck twenty-four when he entered at the door
With a blooming and beautiful bride.
But it stopp'd short, never to go again
When the old man died.
My grandfather said that of those he could hire,
Not a servant so faithful he found.
For it wasted no time, and had but one desire.
At the close of each week
