modesty the plaudits Of an admiring

SONG OF THE BELLS.
For the Old and New Year.
BY FRANK L. STANTON.

Goodby. . Clasp hands in the Night,
while high t" the Ether Swells
The musical chiuae of the bells of Time
the brave undaunted bells,
OF the bells that swing and ring and
sing their sad and merry slaves
over the New Years violets that grow on
the Old Years graves.
Goodby! For here is the parting of
the paths that were sad Or sweet;
There fell some tears on the flowers, and
the CLEANS and the dreams were
fleet;
The thorn iurked under the blossom and
blighted the joy to be;
and the harbor lights are lonely for the
ships that were lost at sea-
But now, clasp hands in the Night, Old
Iear-clasp hands in the ripping
Night,
And a tear and prayer for your golng-a
Kiss for your brow, of white,
Mother and brother of life to me-drifting
where darkness dwells
From the signing and dying of Earth set
free, and rocked to rest by the
BELLS
Goodby. And song of welcome
from the bells of the world for One,
Clothed in the light Of morning-kissed
and crowned of the sun!
The welcome of all the bellS-the bells!
And garlands to grace his way,
While CLEANS and StrOrmS the glory from
the flood gates of the Day.
Welcome. a hand and heart for you,
Sing, hills. and answer, plains.
Echo the song i'll the thunder-in the dash
of the wintry rains
In the roar of the lushing cities, where
the cleaving temples rise
In the voice OF the seas that toss their
spray to the blue of the bending
skies!
Welcomes! . Bring gifts to the homes
Of men; the gifts OF love and light!
Let the dreams outlive the shadows and
the mystery of Night;
Let the days move on in music to the Mas
te:'S perfect plan,
Till we learn that lesson of love to God
whose meaning is love to man!
