Clock

Clock of time thy hands go faster Faster than the Moon and sun Dreams and hopes with thee they linger O thou lonesome forlorn singer Hearts of people full of sorrow With the funerals of the shadows In the circle of Thy tick tick Midst of sorrow midst of fun Wait and linger walk and stagger Till to graves all of them run
