7 And the world looks dark and drear;
I'm short Of breath, so pant and wheeze,
And shiver ard shake, and cough and
sneeZe;; Esss
Ny limbs creak mournfullys in the breeze
For I am the poor Old Year.
Twelve months ago I was young and fair:
ruled the world with a regal air,
And every one welcomed me- here and
there,
Without frown or a tear.
I The boys; and girls hurra he'd for me, s8
And was as happy as happy could be;
The world around was fair to see
For I was the glad New Year.
The merry thrush and the bold cuckoo
Gave me a song and welcome true;
The white puccoon and the violet blue
Peeped slyly into my face; Ss
The tulip gave her rich perfume,
The slarkspur waved her azure plume,
The red rose opened her velvet bloom,
My royal court to grace. r. sS$SSsi
The brooklet burst its icy bond,
The fern uncoiled her greenest frond,
The daisy waved her yellow wand,
To give me welcome meet;
And summer brought her glowing days.
Her bearded wheat and golden maize:
The wild bee hummed a song of praise,
And slipped the cloyer's sweet.
Then autumn poured her rudy wine.
And shook the cluster from the vine,
And dropped the needles from the pine.
To scatter in my path;
The milk-weed burst her silky pod,
The partridge piped from the turfy sod. E.
And queen-of-t he-meado w and golden-rod,
i Bloomed gay in the aftermath.
But now, alas! my time has come;
I'm weak and weary, and cold and numb,
& And sour and sad, and cross and glum,
And the world is dark and drear;
No blossoms spring as i pass along,
No warbler sings me a welcome song;
But the bells ring out a merry ding-dong
To welcome another year.
