Wild Bells, New Year

Annually purge the worries away Ashes to Ashes, dust in the wind, sway Old cares beset this past year make fly Ring out wild bells to the wild sky! Musically refrained, yearly again Out! Out! Troubles and pressure's strain Welcome, Welcome new days ahead don't be shy Ring out wild bells to the wild sky! New rhythm, new air celebration of rebirth Happy days, honorable days upon earth Wildly welcome; greetings and bye, bye Ring out wild bells to the wild sky! For Dr. Mehta's contest Kyrielle-old year to the new year...

Hi Doris. Thank you for your kind comments. I've a lot to learn looking at this. Loved the lines, 'Old cares beset this past year make fly Ring out wild bells to the wild sky'. My take was to bring back Cuchula , (a leader of ancient Ireland) to bring our Country into a new era. Thanks for your comments and appreciated words, Eamon
