A HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

 

A
 
Happy
 
new year

Ring out the wild Bells,
To the Wild sky,
The flying cloud,
The frosty Light:

The year is
Dying in The night;
Ring out, wild bells,
And let him Die.

Ring out The old,
Ring in the new,
Ring, happy Bells,
A-cross the snow.

on a holly bush branch,
and words beneath in small writing:
A HAPPY NEW YEAR

 

The year is Going,
Let him go;
Ring out The false,
Ring in the true.

Ring in The
Valiant man And free,
The larger heart,
The kindlier Hand:

Ring out The
Darkness of the land,
Ring in the
Christ that is to Be.
                           Tennyson
