for grownups. but for the small folks

Good-by, Old Year.

Good-by, Old Year, your mission ends
With midnight chimes and all is done;
The records writ, with joy or less,
-: The deeds fulfilled and guerdons won
Are hung as trophies round thy rhine.
And thou art named with olden time
Forevermore oh. fateful past.
That saw so much no law can change;
Beginning and the end of things
That were to be, the new and strange,
The old and worn and bloom and blight
Passed to the dark or born to light.
And. oh, for some, 4 happy year..
Sweet wedding bells rang joyously:
Old friends clasped hands and strangers
met.
And sunshine fell so glad and free
On buoyant youth. and smiles We're fair.
And laughter bantered pain and care.
Some tears must fall in every year;
Your portion came when grief had set
A badge of. mourning on the hearts
Of some whose love could not forget,
And hopefully. without dismay
They covered friends Of yesterday
Good-by, Old Year; we greet the New:
When We recall your gifts and cost
May then a double portion show
Thy favors won DER which was lost.
Good-by: A hand. at parting; then
A benediction and amen.
