ANOTHER YEAR.
Another year has pass'd and gone ; Hopo beaming with the new ; Thus move we on— forever on— The m.my and the few. The many of our childhood days . That vanish ono. by one, Till Death, in duel with each life, Has left us here alone. Another year. The buried past Lies- in it" silent i>rave. The stream of life flows ever fast As wave leaps into wave. Another year. Ah ! who can can tell What memories it may bring 1 Of lonely heart and tearful eye, And hope bereft of wing? Another year. The curfew rings ; Fast cover up each coal. The old year dies, the old ye<ir dies ; The bell its requiem toll. A pilgrim year lnu> reached its shrine, The air with incensp glows ; The spirit of another year Comes forth from long repose. Another year, with tears and joy, To form an arch of love. Another year to toil and hope, And seek for rest above. Another year winged on its way, Eternity the goal ; Another year. Peace in its train. Peace to each parting soul.
