For the Caledonian.
The Dying Year.

Farewell, thou dying year, farewell,
Thy varied scenes have swiftly flown.
The dirge of time has rung thy knell,
And all thy faded joys are gone;
The passing drge of time is borne
On wintry wild winds, hoarse and drear,
The knell Of days can nee return
TO herald back the dying year.
Go, fade with all things fair and bright,
And wither with the chilling blast;
We would not stay thy onward flight,
Nor sigh for joys that cannot last.
The faded leaves grown pale and scar,
And their lone hollow resting sound
Bespeak deaths cruel impress there
Has breathed sure destruction round.
The blighted Aow'r, the leaHess tree,
Bespeak the sad autumnal gloom--
Precursors of fate's stern decree
Which heralds morias TO the tomb.
As changing scenes Of time unfold,
The ills Of life we clearly scan,
Thus in times mirror behold
An emblem true Of lying man,
Fond memory with emotions soft
Still views the slow and solemn tread
OF friends bereft, assembled Oft,
To chant the requiem DER the dead.
Friendships that now in death are hushed.
And strong affections broken chain
Pure hopes that fate too quickly crushed,
In iondest memory bloom again.
When backward through departed years
On memory's fairy wing stay,
How Oft find but cause for tears
Along life's sad and dreary way;
We've watched the fading CLEANS Of day,
And mused en- hopes quickly flown;
OuEz1etfES oS bsee fed away,
OuS1ASdest, brightest hopes are gone.
We wait for loved departed ones
To breathe the fond and plighted yow,-
We listen for familiar tones
or voices hushed and silent now;-
We gaze on once familiar things,
Aud marvel that such objects fair
No gladness TO spirits bring
Like that which formerly was there
Thy reign, with bold relentless sway,
Has left fond aching hearts to weep
Torn those we deorly loved away,
To sleep deaths cold and dresuless sleep,
They sunk meath autumn's chilling blast,
And with the leaf grew pale and scar,
Their memory, only with the past,
Is mirrored in the dying year,
Times signet on thy brow is set,
Thy days are numbered with the past;
Since woes betde, we'll meier regret,
Eventual time is waning fast.
Then to oblivion's shades retire;
Past years will FER come back TO tell
How brief thy fading glories were;-
Farewell, thou dying year FarelreH
Burke, Sunday evening, Dec. 81 =, 1913. a. b.
