| Farewell, old year! Farewell, farewell
| On you we ring the chestnut bell;
| Like all the other years since One,
| The time has come when you are done;
| And though we sigh to see you CO.
| You can't do otherwise, you know.
| It's so with you, it's so with all,
| There comes to each final call,
| Which, when 1t comes, although we grleve,
| We have TO pack our duds and leave.
| You'll meet upon that other shore
| The thousands who have gone before,
| And presently old year, you'll find
| The thousands you have left behind;
| SO If we say farewell to you,
| And smile greeting to the new,
| It's only form--a sdrOir Jdiro-
Because well meet you over there.
