A NEW YEAR'S WISH.

I ask one little boon Of the new year: May I through all its days Carry some cheer To those who sit in gloom, Weeping for loss: To hearts that slowly break Under a cross.
I who have left my dead, With none to care; I who have wept alone, Facing despair,— Would gladly sweeten lives, And make them dear— This little boon I ask Of the new year.
They best can serve the Lord His errands run, Who call no love their own, Under the sun. Let me bear help to want, And hope to fear: I ask no other boon Of the new year.
—From the Aldine for January.
