The New Year.
THE NEW YEAR .
TIME comes and goesTin haste from all Tear folloivs upon year , Life ' s pleasures and He's follies pall , Warm fancies disappear ; Another year at last has vanished , Tet another year to-day ,
Despite an old year sternly . banished , Confronts us in the AA ay . Welcome , NGAV Tear , to me and mine , Welcome to all , I say , Slid all those , hopes ancl dreams benign ' Which appear ou NOAV Tear ' s Day .
For Time once more has measur'd A term in solemn pace , Gone are the joys Ave treasur'd , The follies that disgrace ! Ah , me ! hoAV each departing year Seems sternly still to throw
A glamour both of doubt and fear On all of earth beloAv ; HOAV all Ave loA'e , and all AA'O hate , HOAV all that joys us here Is cloom'd to , yield to solemn fate , To bloom—and disappear .
Nothing is left to-day I find Of all I lov'd so Avell : Warm hearts and hands so soft and kind Have yielded to the spell .. . The pleasant form , the loving smile , The voice of joyous mirth , Have left usat the last half-mile
, , Have passed a \ A'ay from earth . Oh , strange , strange paradox of time , HOAV idle seems thy theme , Which Avarms the rhapsody sublime , Or . haunts the poet's dream ! If nothing here can stay , how vain
Are all the . hopes of men ! If pleasure ever yields to pain , When conies the " golden age" again ? Ah ! many years ' must fleet a \ A'ay , Before the " good time" comes at last , Until the dawn of a better day
Shall lighten up all our past ; Until in God ' s good time Ave hail An end to doubt and fear , Mid hopes and hours that never fail , An eternal glad New Tear ! ' W .
