Winding the Clock's Screw

Winding the clock's screw
Round and round
Ensures that its hands keep
Moving;
Long hand, short hand keep
Moving;
They move at the same slow pace,
Poco a poco
In the day
And in the night.
Millions of ages have sought
To put paid to this
Timeless phenomenon,
But time is of
Overwhelming strength;
It keeps going on
Just the same.
