1、歌词如下：

My grandfathers clock was too large for the shelf,

我祖父的钟表太大放不到架子上

So it stood ninety years on the floor;

因此它在地板上站立了90年

It was taller by half than the old man himself,

它足有祖父身高的一半还多

Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.

然而它还没有比一英钱更重

It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born,

它是在祖父出生的早晨买的

And was always his treasure and pride;

而且一直都是他的珍宝和骄傲

But it stoppd short — never to go again —

但是它不久就停止了——再也没有走过——

When the old man died.

当老爷子去世后

In watching its pendulum swing to and fro,

看着它摆来摆去

Many hours had he spent while a boy;

祖父度过了他孩童时期的很多时间

And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know

钟表了解祖父的孩童和成年时光

And to share both his grief and his joy.

For it struck twenty-four when he entered at the door,

当他打开门它敲了24点钟

With a blooming and beautiful bride;

伴着一个妙龄漂亮的新娘

But it stopped short — never to go again —

但是它不久就停止了——再也没有走过——

When the old man died.

Ninety years without slumbering

(tick, tock, tick, tock),

His lifes seconds numbering,

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 to be wound.

And it kept in its place — not a frown upon its face,

And its hands never hung by its side.

It rang an alarm in the dead of the night —

An alarm that for years had been dumb;

之前几年都没有响过;

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,

时钟还是在计时，伴随着轻轻和模糊的鸣响

As we silently stood by his side;
