A Habit.

4 man there was who never had
For dates a ready mind.
And yet his lot was not so sad:
To mirth he seemed inclined.
A happy New Year he desired
For mortals here below,
Not only those whom he admired,
But those he didn't know.

Like music gay and free
And though the song which thus he,
sung
Seemed trivial, more or less
1t kept the long year ever young
And fraught with happiness
