FAREWELL TO THE YEAR 1917.
High on yon mystic vault sublime,
The swift-wins'd Pyroentes climb---
Departing child Of harrying time,
We bid Farewell Farewell!
The sioping axlss Of their ear
Bear thy last warning hours afar.
And evening lights her solemn star,
Tosay Farewell! Farewell!
While must z Wisdom scans each age
Enshrin'd in story's hallowd page,
Since FIRST upon their pilgrimage
TIE even eoarsers sprungi
While history, in thy VANISHED days,
Her glowing moral deep Pourtrays,
And poets. for their deathlsss lays,
Find loftiest themes uusung:
I linger BY thy wintry grave,
And from Obfivion's su.len wave,
Her melancholy lesson crave,
As then I sigh Farewell!
Spirits OF hours forever fed,
Ere yet ye slumber with the dead,
Here from Jour consecrated bed,
Your awful lesson tell
Tell from what aching hearts forlorn
The penlten,ial vow was borne,
On pinlons Of your opening morn
How soon forgotten, tell!
And say what tributary tears,
Ger the long world Of wasted years,
That no bright consciousness endears,
Weep now their sad Farewell!
Tell how that sprite that Knocks fore'er,
Poor ioliy's pamper'd treasurer,
Tomorrow, sported with the year,
ERchain'd within his spell
What blishted hopes, what blasted fame
What wild and favor'd anguish came,
TO curse the demons whitening name,
As that year spoke Farewell!
o tell how your avensing arms,
When conscience ceas'd her vain alarms
Link'd by indissoluble charms,
The talismans Of He'll
The chains unconquer'd habit wove,
When shame, ambition, friendship, love-
To burst his letters idly strove,
And sigh'd q long FAREWELL!
Proclaim the havoc Death hath done,
Bemoan'd BY kindred eyes alone
What souls unnoted and unknewn,
The spoilers triumphs swell;
While buoyan, still the thoushtless crowd
Float On, as gay. as Wild, as loud,
Az if the glories Of the proud
Should never say FAREWELL
Give Fame's high son humble heart;
To Wisdom modesty impart,
To Disappointment's ranking smart
A cheering lesson tell;
To Pride teach charity; to Health
The progress Of times subtle stealth;
Proclaim its vanity to Wealth,
Ere yet thou say'st Farewell!
As thou Eternity shalt seek,
Thy chariot wheels let childhood deck,
While yet the roses Oh its cheek
Its innocence can tell (;
It's woe or veal i, yet TO come,
And who shall antedate its doom ?
1 only view thee in thy gloom,
And sigh last Farewell
