The Clock
The clock that ticks upon the wall ticks on in spring and fall, and fall. It ticked for him; it ticked for me as if to tell eternity. It ticked when to his eyes I clung, and when the New-Year song was sung, And when he died in summer's glow, the pendulum sighed of snow, of snow. It preaches of time to a barren house, to vacant rooms, a feathery mouse. For you, my love, whom I adored, its ticking Stopped.
