The Clock
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick-
It moves a little again
And again and again.
There is no Silence, not at all-
Look how it approaches the end
Yet never reaches it as you look-
It ticks, it ticks, it ticks, it doesn't stop;
Slower and slower still it goes, the more
You look the slower it gets, but look-
Never take the eyes of it;
It moves upwards still, it keeps
Moving upwards and it starts to blur:
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick,
It approaches twilight
