Hark the midnight bell
Dear old year, FAREWELL
While others shout adieu,
And greet the new,
And turn toward the dawn,
Glad thou art gone,

Fain would / have thee tarry at the
goal;
Would hear once more some song
whose music yet
Awakes some sweet emotion in my
soul
Tho years may come and go
And bury deep
The joys that now we know
And long 70 keep.
The cloudless days and nights of
sweet repose,
Thy happy moments shall remem-
