POETICAL.
THE ENDING AND BEGINNING YEAR.
BY ALFRED TESSYsoN.


BY ALFRED TESSYsoN.
Ring out, wild bells, TO the wild sky,
The flying clouds, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and lei him die,
Ring out the old, ring in the new.
Ring happy bells, across the snow,
The Year lie going, let him go;
Ring gu, the false ring, in the true
Ring ont the grief tina, saps tho mind.
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the fueds of rich and poor,
Ring 10 redress to all Mankind.
Ring out slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms OF party strife;
Ring In the nobler modes Of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care the sin,
The faithless GOODNESS of the times;
Ring out my mournful rhymes,
Blu. ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic SANDER and the spite,
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love OF good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease.
Ring out the narrow lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars Of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free,
The larger heart, the kindlier hand;
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring In the Christ that is to be.
