1t was New Years night and the Storm King laughe
At the North wlnd'S sulen roar,
And the driving sleet cut a broad, glare 5wath
As the rain sped on before
Through deserted streets. by the fickerng guides
OF the lamp lights, low and dim,
Trudged gaunt, bent form, with wan pinched
face
Twas the " Low Com. -" Dandy jim;
And he clutched the throat of his tatIered coat,
And pulled down his old hat briiu.
" Brayo Encorer' rang again in his ears,
As he thought OF happy hearts
He had oft made glad when his own was sad,
And the Old eccentric parts
Which he used to play in his young heyday,
While the pit rang with applause,
And the standing room had nightly boom
From the circle to the DOORS
And the one great shout when "Uur jim" came out
Was mingled with long huzzas.
On, slowly on, W 18th a falterng stride
While the head drops on his breast
Soon the eyeiids close. then, down in the snow,
Unconscious he SINKS TO rest;
AS then pleasant dreams through his senses creep,
Nor cen cold pain he knows
And the sweeping blast a clean ShrOud has cast,
While a dirGe the night wind blows
And the clock strikes one for the life begun
Anew al the Old lifeS close.
