Show The New Year By Tennyson a JD'-VG out, wild bells, to the wild I sky, J The flying cloud, the frosty light. i The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die. j "Ring out the old, ring in the new; i Ring, happy bells, across the snow; The year is going, let him go; j Ring out the false, ring in the true. . "Ring out the grief, that saps the mind. For those that here we see no more; j Ring out the feud of rich and poor; ' Ring in redress to all mankind. "Ring out a slowly dying cause And ancient forms of party strife; Ring in the nobler modes of life. With sweeter manners, purer laws. "Ring out the want, the care, the sin, The faithless coldness of the times; Ring out, ring out, my mournful rhymes But ring the fuller minstrel in. 1 "Ring out false pride in place of blood, , The civic slander and the spite; Ring in the love of truth and right; Ring in the common love of good. "Ring out old shapes of foul disease; I Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old, ! Ring in the thousand years of peace. i "Ring in the valiant man and free, i The larger heart, the kindlier hand; Ring out the darkness of the land; Ring in the Christ that is to be.' 1 |
