THE DEATH OF
THE OLD YEAR
Alfred ,;;Tennyson.

Alfred ;Tennyson. =
Full knee-deep lies the winter snow,
And the winter winds, are wearily
b! signing, ",-ss J.:
Toll ye the church-bell, sad and slow,
And tread softly and speak Tow:
For the old year lies a-dying.
Old year, you must not die;
You came to US 10 readily,
You lived with US so steadily;
Old year, you shall not die.
He lieth still; he doth not move:
He will not see the dawn Of day;
He hath no other life above;
He gave me a friend and g. true. true
love, d.
And the New Year will take them
away. =.
Old year, you must not go;
So long you- have been with us,
Such Joy as You have seen with u.s.
Old year, you shall not go.
He frothed his bumpers to the brim !;
A jollier year we shall not see.
But though his eyes are waxing dim,
And though his foes speak i'll of him,
He was a friend to me.
Old year, you shall not die;
We did SO laugh and cry with you,
I've half a mind to die with you,
Old year, If you must die.
He was full of joke and jest;
But all his merry quips are. DER.
To see him die, across the waste
His son and heir doth ride post haste,
But he'll be dead before.
Every one for his own.
The night is starry and cold, my
friend,
And the New Year blithe and bold,
my friend,
Comes up to take his own.
How hard he breathes! DER the snow
I heard just now, the growing cock
The shadows flicker to and fro,
The cricket chirps, the light burns
'Tis nearly twelve o'clock.
Shake hands before you die.
Old year, we'n dearly rue for you.
What il it we can do Tor you?-
Speak out before you die. ..
His face is growing sharp and thin;-
A1ack! our Ifrisnd is gone,
Close up his eyes, tie up his chin,
Step from the corpse; and let him in

RING OUT, WILD BELLS
Alfred Tennyson.

Alfred Tennyson.
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ringout, wild bells. and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the. snow
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care, the sin,
The faithless coldness of the time;
Ring out, ring out, my mournful
rhymes.
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and
blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love Of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years Of peace.
Ring in the valiant men and free
The larger heart, and kindlier
hand;
Ring out the darkness Of the land;
Ring in the Christ that is to be.
