Where
and how do you go, old year?
Running
and thrumming and flying, my dear
Leaping
and sleeping and crying, it’s clear
You
have one destination in mind
Dashing
and dancing, a skip and a whirl
Grinning
and glancing, a trip and a twirl
Crooning
and moaning, a swish and a swirl
With
only your song left behind
Where
do you go and how, dear sir
Spring,
summer, fall and back to winter
Don't close your eyes for time is a blur
And
slips through our fingers with glee
Where
do you go and how, old year
Fleeter
your foot with age now I fear
So
cherish dear loved ones and hold them near
For
Time offers no guarantee
Where
do you go so swiftly now
Into
the sky on the winds that blow
Never
a curtsy, no wave or a bow
Silently
into the night
Echo
of laughter, of longing’s blue tear
Hope
for tomorrow gleams on the New Year
Parting
is such sweet sorrow, my dear
Softly
you slip out of sight
Janet~
