Good Night—Good Morning

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN

Good night, old year! We lay thee down to rest, And fold thy passive hands upon thy breast. Thy brow is furrowed deep with care and pain; No loss we grieve, nor wish thee back again. For thy dead hopes and for thy love of right We give thee a caress, and say, Good night.

Good morning, glad new year! The dawn of grace, Of courage, hope, and cheer beams in thy face. Few more good mornings lie ’twixt us and heaven, Yet for our good this new delight is given, To greet with joy sincere,—thy smile adorning Our simple life of love,—and say, Good morning.
