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
