New Year: a Time of Joy

By Addison Howard Gibson

'Tis a time of joy when New Year rides All up the land and down; For gladdened hearts make faces glow, When New Year dons its crown, Neighbors in new-born gladness meet, And strife is buried deep, Since New Year's cheer conceals all wrong 'Neath snow, where daisies sleep.
'Tis a time of joy when New Year's bells Ring in good deeds and true; When heaven's own bliss comes down to earth, Heart comfort to renew. 'Tis a thing sublime to rise above Burdens of grief and woe, And strive with loving hearts and hands The seeds of joy to sow.
—Addison Howard Gibson.
