The Old Year and the New

By WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
The Old Year passes. Were his sheaves All garnered for his God? The night-winds stir hope’s seared leaves That strew the path he trod. His form bent low by grief and toil Will rest in peace at last Where snowflakes veil the mounds of soil,— God’s Acre of the Past.
The New Year beckons. Joyfully He greets the radiant morn, And promise-buds abundantly His verdant gifts adorn. Where courage, faith, and love prevail, Of joy and fruitful cheer A royal harvest can not fail To crown the glad New Year!
