[00:00:03] My grandfather's clock was to large for the shelf'

[00:00:09] So it stood ninety years on the floor;

[00:00:16] It was taller by half than the old man himself'

[00:00:23] Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.

[00:00:30] It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born'

[00:00:37] And was always his treasure and pride.

[00:00:44] But it stopped short' Never to go again'

[00:00:50] When the old man died..

[00:00:58] In watching its pendulum swing to and fro'

[00:01:04] Many hours had he spent while a boy;

[00:01:11] And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know'

[00:01:18] And to share both his grief and his joy.

[00:01:25] For it struck twenty-four when he entered the door'

[00:01:32] With a blooming and beautiful bride.

[00:01:38] But it stopped short' Never to go again'

[00:01:45] When the old man died..

[00:01:52] Ninety years without slumbering

[00:01:57] Tick' tock' tick' tock'

[00:02:00] His life seconds numbering'

[00:02:03] Tick' tock' tick' tock

[00:02:07] It stopped short' Never to go again

[00:02:13] When the old man died.

[00:02:20] And it kept in its place' not a frown upon its face'

[00:02:26] And its hands never hung by its side;

[00:02:33] But it stopped short' Never to go again'

[00:02:40] When the old man died..

[00:03:03] It rang an alarm in the dead of the night'

[00:03:09] An alarm that for years had been dumb;

[00:03:16] And we know that his spirit was pluming its flight'

[00:03:23] That his hour of departure had come.

[00:03:30] Still the clock kept the time'

[00:03:33] With a soft muffled chime'

[00:03:37] As we silently stood by his side;

[00:03:44] But it stopped short' Never to go again'

[00:03:50] When the old man died..

[00:03:58] When the old man died..
