6   7 -7   7     -8    7    
My grandfather's clock was

-8   8   -9   8  -6
too large for the shelf

-8 -8   7    7  7  -7   -6  -7    7
So it stood ninety years on the floor.

6  6    7 -7   7 -8   
It was taller by half

 7   -8   8  -9   8 -6
than the old man himself

 -8   -8     7     7  
Though it weighed not

7 -7 -6  -7     7
a penny-weight more.

7   8    9    8  -8    7  
It was bought on the morn

-7  7  -8   7  -7  -6   6
of the day that he was born

7    8   9  8  -8   7  -7    7  -8
And was always his treasure and pride.

 6  6    7       -8    
But it stopped, short,

8  8   8 -9 8 -6  -8   -8   7  -7   7
never to go again when the old man died.

 6  6   7     6  6    -6 6 6      
Ninety years without slumbering,

  5    6     5    6
tick, tock, tick tock.

 6    7     6  6   -6 6  6    
His life's seconds numbering,

 5     6     5    6
tick, tock, tick tock.

6     7     -8    8  8   8 -9  
It stopped short, never to run

8 -6  -8   -8   7  -7   7
again when the old man died.
