This Is a curious New Year wish, I know,
And yet it is sincere. / wish for you
That measure Of real joys which you be-
stow
Throughout the year; such good as you
may do,
From day to day; such kindness 40 you
show
To those who halt through fear or lose
the way;
Such happy hours as you to children give;
Such help as you hold out to those who
live
Where shadows group to make life cold
and gray;
Such hopes as you help others to achieve;
Such comfort as you bear to those who
grieve;
Such peace as your own presence
radiAtes--
And thus my wish removes you far from
Fate's
False prated sway, leaving your own
hand
The power to gain what you yourself
command.
