今日は、大きな古時計を聞いていた。新学期始まって10回目の放送だと言うのに。

My grandfather’s clock was to large for the shelf,
So it stood ninety years on the floor
It was taller by half than the old man himself,
Though it weighed not a pennyweight more.
It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born,
And was always his treasure and pride.

※　But it stopp’d short, Never to go again,
When the old man died

In watching its pendulum swing to and fro
Many hours had he spent while a boy;
And in childhood and manhood the clock seemed to know,
And to share both his grief and his joy.
For it struck twenty-four when he entered at the door,
With a blooming and beautiful bride.

※　Repeat

※※
Ninety years without slumbering
（ｔick, tock, tick, tock）
His life seconds numbering,
（ｔick, tock, tick, tock）
It stopped short never to go again
When the old man died.

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

※　Repeat

It rang an alarm in the dead of the night,
And alarm that for years had been dumb
And we know 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,
As we silently stood by his side
