FAREWELL. OLD rEAlst

Farewell, Old Year when other friends depart,
Fond hope still lineers in the sad adeu,
And cen in absence tells the sorrowing heart,
That after fare the-wcll comes how.d'-y y do!
Bui thou, Old Year, art passing from my sight
Thy cheerful DAYS, thy happy hours are DER;
To mcinory's dim domain they take their flight,
And from her shades they shall return no more.
The summer birds that with their tr'ian, wings
Clcave the far ether Of n southern sky.
Anon return, hy howers and gushing springs,
To glad the Wild woods with their melody.
But they return not--hoess Of biss-swift stealing
Away, away, ON pinions hrigh, mud pure,
Zen ia their fight, the ma,chlrss joys revealing,
Too fair to ns,--ioo lovely 10 endure
10 vain, with beating hearts and arms extended
We court their stay aud pray that they may last
They glide away too soon, with memories blended,
Tha, crowd the precincts OF the insatia,e past.
Thus years roll by, and each aud every one
Snaichcs some treasured happiness away;
All gracelcss heart reilcci-and are there none
Tha, hear grefs with them on their back
way
Neither shall these return TO mar Thy rest
lfjnys depart so cares dark hours go by;
Aud time hath no power TO heal The bleeding
breast,
To dry the fallen tear, and hush the sigh.
Or IL a sting remain the honey dew
Of sweet remembrance shall nllay the smart,
Aud soo,h regrets, and kindlc hope anew;
Blcst antidotc to care .-oh tbank.css heas,
Ycs' wears roll on We, wherefore send them forth
With rct ords dark aud sad to hear on high
Oh give them noble th1ne,.is,aad deeds of worth
To swell Ls annals Of cteruiiy.
