The Old Year and the New

By Worthie Harris Holden

WORTHIE HARRIS HOLDEN
Crown the Old Year with his laurels, For his strenuous race is run; Let him rest among the mighty At the setting of the sun. Do thy tears bedew the roses Wreathing all his acts of love? On the tablet of the faithful Is his name enrolled above?
Comes the winsome happy New Year,— Eyes that shine with keen delight Gaze with mingled joy and wonder At each strange and welcome sight, Outstretched hands extend their greeting, Hopes renew, and voices cheer, As we hail the regal bounty Brought us by the glad New Year.
