“ Let us drink to the year that is dying fast, Though his days were weary and long; Let us sing for the year that has come at last, Let us welcome him in with a song ! Let us speed with a song the sad old year, With the trouble he brought in his Irain ; Let us greet with a toast the one that is near— We had hoped : Let us hope again ! “ Familiar faces make way for the strange. And the old gives place to the new, But faith in the future is firm tlnough change. As dreams of the past are true. Then a toast for the year that is cc min f ist, M .y his days be merry and long ! A.d a dirge for the year that has gi ne at last — We will speed him home wi(h a song. ”
