Show 1 1. I New Year Greeting ,1 saw the hills of the morning, The form of the new year arise; He stood like a statue adorning The world with a background of skies; There was courage and grace in his beautiful face, And hope in his glorious eyes. "I come from Time's boundless forever," for-ever," V He said, with a voice like a song; "I come as a friend to endeavor, I come as a foe to all wrong, To 1he sad and afraid I bring piom-iso piom-iso of aid, And the weak I shall gird and make strong. "I bring you more blessings than terrors, I bring you more sunlight than gloom, I tear out your page of old errors, And hide them away in Time's tomb; I reach you clean hands and lead on to the lands, Where the lilies of peace are in bloom." |
