by Justinus (Andreas Christian) Kerner (1786 - 1862)

An die Wanduhr
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Our translations:  ENG
Alte Uhr! dein Zeiger geht
Wohl noch richtig seine Bahn,
Doch dein Schlagwerk stille steht,
Schlägt nicht mehr die Stunden an.

Alte Uhr! dich hat die Zeit
So wie mich verletzet schwer!
Geht auch noch mein Tagwerk heut',
Schlägt mein Herz doch fast nicht mehr.

Confirmed with Justinus Kerners sämtliche poetische Werke in vier Bänden, herausgegeben von Dr. Josef Gaismaier, 1. Band, Leipzig: Max Hesses Verlag, 1880, page 235.
