Grandfather's Clock (1876)
Показать описание
A clock's action is connected to a man's life.
Lyrics
1. 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
Chorus
Ninety years, without slumbering (tick, tick, tick, tick)
His life seconds numbering (tick, tick, tick, tick)
It stopp’d short never to go again when the old man died
2.In watching its pendulum swing to and fro
Many hours had he spent while 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
3. My grandfather said 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 to be wound
And it kept in its place not a frown upon its face
And its hands never hung by its side
But it stopp’d short, never to go again
When the old man died
4. 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 for 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 stopp’d short, never to go again
When the old man died

This song is beguiling in its simplicity, naturalness, humor, and the easy flow of melody and accompaniment. It seems to have a paranormal theme. It was written several years earlier but it's publication was delayed due to the Chicago fire of 1871.
