平井賢さんの "大きな古時計" (Grandfather's Clock)　の原曲の一節をご紹介しましょう。　Henry C. Work によって1876年に書かれたものです。

My grandfather's clock was too 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 stopped short, never to go again,
When the old man died.
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.
