The Grandfather Clock
Grandfather Time is on guard in the hall, In his old zvooden box, zvith his back to the
zvall; On duty he stands, and on duty he’ll stay, While the World and his Wife keep their Christmas to-day. Stiff as a ramrod the veteran stands, Obedient still to his captain's commands; While zve feast and zve zvassail, the sentinel here Will remain at his post, like an old Grenadier. With scarcely a glance for his pleasant old. face, We live and.zve love at a furious pace; But Christmas by Christmas old Grandfather Time On sentry zvill stand till the Ultimate Chime. ■ —Fred. W. Bayliss in Chambers’s Journal Christmas Number.
