OLD TIME HAS TURNED
ANOTHER PAGE

OF ETERNITY AND TRUTH;
HE READS WITH A WARNING
VOICE TO AGE;

AND WHISPERS A LESSON
TO YOUTH.

A YEAR HAS FLED O'ER HEART
AND HEAD

SINCE LAST THE YULE LOG BURNT,
AND WE HAVE A TASK TO
CLOSELY ASK

WHAT THE BOSOM AND BRAIN
HAVE LEARNT?

OH, LET US HOPE THAT OUR
SANDS HAVE RUN

WITH WISDOM'S PRECIOUS GRAINS:
OH, MAY WE FIND THAT OUR
HANDS HAVE DONE

SOME WORK OF GLORIOUS PAINS:
THEN A WELCOME AND CHEER
TO THE MERRY NEW YEAR,

WHILE THE HOLLY GLEAMS
ABOVE US;

WITH A PARDON FOR THE FOES
WHO HATE,

AND A PRAYER FOR THOSE
WHO LOVE US:

                                      ELIZA COOK
