Beckoning of the Bell
"Eight o' clock! Eight o' clock!"
beckoned the old clock.
"Eight o' clock! Eight o' clock!"
I will still don my sock.
"Eight o' clock! Eight o' clock!"
The pendulum does slowly knock.
"Eight o' clock! Eight o' clock!"
To my bed I will not walk.
"Nine o' clock! Nine o' clock!"
I am working still.
"Nine o' clock! Nine o' clock!"
Plenty of time I will kill.
"Nine o' clock! Nine o' clock!"
It seems rest has no will.
"Nine o' clock! Nine o' clock!"
These papers I must fill.
"Ten o' clock! Ten o' clock!"
softly does the clock call.
"Ten o' clock! Ten o' clock!"
I will avoid sleep with my all.
"Ten o' clock! Ten o' clock!"
I'm walking down the hall.
"Ten o' clock! Ten o' clock!"
To slowly soothe my gall.
"Eleven o' clock! Eleven o' clock!"
rings the infernal bell!
"Eleven o' clock! Eleven o' clock!"
I can't stand that yell!
"Eleven o' clock! Eleven o' clock!"
loudly does the bell knell.
"Eleven o' clock! Eleven o' clock!"
The resounding waves upon me fell.
"Twelve o' clock! Twelve o' clock!"
My time is almost done!
"Twelve o' clock! Twelve o' clock!"
Gone is all my fun.
"Twelve o' clock! Twelve o' clock!"
The bell tones have spun.
"Twelve o' clock! Twelve o' clock!"
Sleep no more will I shun.
