Hi, Wilfried - which verse is the last one? Are the others in order?
I guess I can see parts of the "die Uhr" tune in "Grandfather's Clock." I can also see parts of the "Mexican Hat Dance" in "die Uhr." I can see how Work could have been inspired by "die Uhr," but Work's work is certainly7 quite different.
In "die Uhr," the clock marks important moments of life," but that's the only similarity I see.
I suppose I could attempt a translation, but I'd rather see one from a German Mudcatter.
Wilfried?
