In other days, when other years
We're drawing to a close,
We Joined the general joyous cheers
That on the midnight rose.
"A year has gone; that makes score
We've left behind" we said.
But what of that? There's plenty
more ahead"
There's life to live and sights to see
And fortunes to be made,
Bring ON the years that are to be,
And let the old ones fade!
Wen look on newer, brighter scenes,
And, while youth has-its fling,
Why wonder what the future means
to bring?"
"A host OF days has come and gone,
Like soldiers in review,
And still the same parade moves on
A little faster, too.
The years of our allotted span
In turn 90 swinging past,
Each year trife briefer than the last.
And now the shouting leaves us cold,
And we forbear to cheer;
We are not SO eager as OF old
10 greet the glad New Year.
The years that held our hopes of yore
Have paused while and fled,
And there are not as many more
Ahead.
