“Little Swiss Clock,” Friend, Dec. 1972, inside back cover
Little Swiss Clock
The tiny Swiss clock
That hangs on my wall
Ticks always so softly
I can’t hear it at all.
But inside that clock
A little Swiss bird
Each morning awakes
And so loudly is heard,
I can’t stay asleep
Or I know I’ll be late,
For soon the school bus
Will swing past our gate.
