The Clock
st5 Is old and wise.
Each hand that points to the hours Of
# e Is a Cupid S dart:
Each tick that bids to the tryst OF Love
Is the pulse OF u beating heart
And forward and back the pendulum
swings.
Ever for joy or woe
For tho Clock Of Love has seen many
things.
And lie should know.
1ick-tock tick-tock
The Clock N9
And lie should know.
Then one and two and three and four,
And seven and eight,
The hour hand circles the dial once
more
oh. dreary and long the wait
IL Love may quarrel at Times delay
Straight move mo hands and SLOW
For the old Clock knows that the golden
Too soon may go.
Tick-tock, tick-tock,
Tho Clock
Has seen them go
