A NEW YEARS SONG.

The world is full OF IN pstery,
Which no one understands;
What is before our eyes We see,
The work of unseen hands;
Rnt whence and when, and why they wrought
Escapes the grasp of human thought.
There was time when we were not,
And there will be again
When we must cease and be forgot,
With all our joy and pain
Gone like the wind, or like the snow
That fell thousand years ago.
If death to each man in his turn
Is comiag soon or late,
Be ours the soldier unconcern,
And his courageous fate,
Better to perish in the suite
Than to preserve towards life.
Before my hearts fire pondering long,
As 'twere a bivouac,
| heard last night a solemn song
Which | have summoned back.
1t seems my sombre mood to cheer,
And is my gree'irg 10 the year
New Year, if yoa ere bringing youth
As you are briaGing age,
would not have il beck, in sooth;
have no strength to wage
Lost battles oyer. Let lnem De.
Bury your dead, o Memoiy.
Good-by, since you are gone, Old Year,
And my past life good-by,
