Greeting New Year
Hail this New Year for life’s fresh ascent
Endow me with joy of dawn's laughter;
I would hold all to my heart’s content
And write scenes of a merry chapter
Filled with days gold and nights softer …
Oh, bless the seasons! Who could decline
January to autumn's bower …
When months become sweet tokens, divine?
Flame this world with quietude, well spent
On unity like one blessed tower
In need of peace… let man be content
With freedom’s gift through love-light power;
As continents bridge , hour after hour…
Though time marches on , show us how fine
Love gleams in our homes like spring's flower…
Twenty Seventeen, come, be God’s wine!
