Show i NEW YEAR'S DAY ij ! I stood on a tower in the wet. ; 1 1 And New Year and Old Year met, ); ' - And winds were roaring and blowing ; ; And I said, "O years that meet in tears, ; ! ; Have ye aught that is worth the knowing 1 i Science enough and exploring, J s Wanderers coming and going, ! ' Matter enough for deploring, ! J But aught that is worth the knowing?" 1 Seas at my feet were flowing, j ', Waves on the shingle pouring, ' Old Year roaring and blowing, ! ' And New Year blowing and roaring, Alfred Lord Tennyson. ' |
