Let the New Year sing
VIII the New Year bring
What the Old Year gave7
Ali the strangers year trips over the
And his brow is wrcathed with many a
| rose
But how many thorns do the roses concea,
Which the roses. when withered, shall SO
soon reveal.
Let the New Year smile
While the Old Year dies:
In how short n while
Shall the smiles be sighs?
Yea. stranger year. thou hast many a
charm,
And thy face is fair and thy greeting
But dearer than thou In his shroud of
SHOWS.
Is the furrowed face of the year that
goes
Yea. bright New Year.
Ger all the earth,
With song and cheer
They hall thy birth:
They viii love thy face, they viii iaud
For the New has charms which the Old
And the strangers face makes the friends
forget Father A. j. Ryan.
