Was too large for the shelf

So it stood ninety years on the floor

It was taller by half
它比外公
Than the old man himself
还高一半
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more
虽然它顶多重一本尼威特
It was bought on the morn
它是外公出生的那天早上
Of the day that he was born
买来的
And was always his treasure and pride
它一直是他的宝物和骄傲
But it stopped short

Never to go again
不再走动
When the old man died

It watching it's pendulum

Many hours had he spent while a boy

My grandfather said that of those he could hire

Not a servant so faithful he'd found
像大钟这么兢兢业业的雇工
For it wasted no time and it had but one desire

At the close of each week to be wound

And it kept in it's place but not a frown upon its face

And we knew that his spirit was pluming for flight

Still the clock kept the time with a soft and muffled chime
