THE VANISHED YEAR

Once again year has vanished
To the realm of bygones banished
Where the past years sleep in glory
Not forgotten-gone before
And the New Year comes to greet US,
On the wings of Time to meet us,
And to tell the old, old story
or the years that are no more.
In the wings of Time, swift flying,
Lies the Old Year, sighing, dying,
Borne to join the host that slumbers
On that distant unkis Wn shore
Borne to join the count Us ilegion.
That have crossed thst mystic region,
And are counted with the numbers
In that land of Nevermore.
Once again the bells are ringing,
Tidings Of the New Year bringing,
With the blythe and gladsome clangor
OF the bells that rang of yore,
And their glad and tuneful pealing,
Brighter, fairer skies revealing
Bids us Danish sorrow, anger,
Think of gladness yet in store.
Let us greet the New Year gladly
Though we miss the old one sadly
Let us hope for bright skies Ger US,
Let our dreams be ever fair
Let us Danish care and sorrow,
Hope for gladness on the morrow
Let us build for days before us
Brighter castles in the air.
