New Year Hopes

"Farewell, Old Year! the rustle of whose garment,

Fragrant with memory, I still can hear:

For all thy tender kindness and thy bounty

I drop my thankful tribute on thy bier.

What is in store for me, brave New Year, hidden

Beneath thy glistening robe of ice and snows?

Are there sweet songs of birds, and breath of lilacs,

And blushing blooms of June's scent-laden rose?..."

- Julia B. Cady
