What are the tales the old watch tells? Of seventy years it counts the knells; Years whose every setting sun Was marked by labor faithfully done. With primitive form and clumsy skill, And clumsier help when the work went i, Yet serving their time as best they can— This is the story of watch and man! Many a-all has the old watch hushed, Mauvy a blow has the old man crushed, Meddled with, tinkered and sorely tried At last rejected and thrown aside For modern rivals, all selerce and gold, Useless and erippled despived and old, Under a cloud and under a ban This is the story of wateh and man. But there's a reverse to the pleture sad; Human hearts they can still make glad, The wateh in its dented silver case Can bring asmile to the fair child's face.
