THE OLD YEARS DEATH.

Born with a nameless horror,
Of death so near al hand,
Here in the silent midnight
By the Old year grave we stand.
White in the head of the sleeper,
Wo and bent is the irame,
For the curse Of sin has fallen
And left but a sounding name.
Down in the valley OF silence,
Through the gloom of a winters night,
] count tae CT Inbling head stones
OF the years that are lost TO sight.
Dead with their burden of SORROW,
Dead with their cries of woe,
Dea with the tears that have fallen,
How many bur God can know.
And is that ali that he brought US,
Oh how soon We fo get,
He brought us CLEAN Of sunlight
That lIu ers around us vet.
Ii came from the court of Heaven,
4 blessing sent from G. Il,
And il left its benedIction
On hearts that we're under the rod.
tarn TO he new wears coming,
With ms smiles Of peace and ioy,
And nv heart = filled with wing
For the fair, kind hearted boy.
Let u gather our selfish feelings
And our thoughtless greed for gold,
Let us hurl hem into the open grave
OF the year that's just been told.
And let us think of him kindly,
As one who living his day
Would gla ly bear the sorrow
From our sin cursed earlh away.
