NEW YEAR.
Farewell, old year!
We bid you adieu;
And We feel happy
To welcome the new,
Who merrily greets US,
In vesture white,
As soft and pure
As dews of night,
Oh, what destiny
Is now alive,
In the faithful bosom
Of year ninety-five!
May joys be many
That I'LL its day,
To brighten dark places
On life's rough way.
Few be the sorrows
To gather awhile,
And cloud the faces
That now do smile.
May resolutions be many,
Formed in the heart
To lead a better life
True goodness impart.
