We have wept your laughter-tears
And slept on tears of woe
And now, like all the other years
Away, away you flow
Into your tide we shed our dream
And bled our aching pen
The silence of your subtle stream
Is mightier than men
Yet still we wish upon your star
And pray the Lord to keep
Our loved ones whether near or far
As to yon brink you sweep
Then, as you fall away, away
To Past’s eternal home
A New Year fills its gold and grayWith what is yet to come

Lovely wishes for the new year and also very nice adieu to old year.
