The Mystery Hour
What's going on, what can it mean,
Is it some kind of sign?
Just now the church bells struck thirteen
And it's only half past nine.
The hour hand twitched, the minute hand twirled
The dial began to rock,
Is this the start of the end of the world...
Or is something wrong with the clock?

One of my daily roles when I was verger at Selby Abbey was to scale the tower and wind up the clock. There were three winders governing the clock itself and bells.
My money’s on the clock being wrong, Branwell.
