THE NEW YEAR Ring out wild bells, to the wild sky The flying cloud, the frost;. light; The year is dying in the night; Ring out 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 tate false, ring in the true. Bing 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 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 man and free, The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to be. Tennyson.

Ah, strained with tears Is the well thumbed velum of other yearbl Soiled by blunders and black regret Are the pages we read with our eyelids wet, Close in our hearts as the leaves are turned Is the record of passion that flared and burned, Now laid away with our doubt and fear, As we open the book of an Unlived Year. Once a year in our hand is laid An uncut book by the Master bade; It is ours to read with eyes that cling To flowers that blossom and birds that sing.
