The olden golden stories of the worldA
That stirred the pastB
And now are dim as dreamsC
The lays and legends which the bards unfurledA
In lines that lastB
All rhymed with glooms and gleamsC
Fragments and fancies writ on many a pageD
By deathless penE
And names and deeds that all along each ageD
Thrill hearts of menE
And pictures erstwhile framed in sun or shadeF
Of many climesG
And life's great poems that can never fadeF
Nor lose their chimesG
And acts and facts that must forever ringH
Like temple bellsI
That sound or seem to sound where angels singH
Vesper farewellsI
And scenes where smiles are strangely touching tearsJ
'Tis ever thusK
Strange Mystics in the meeting of the yearsL
Ye bring to usK
All these and more ye make us smile and sighM
Strange power ye holdN
When New Year kneels low in the star aisled skyM
And asks the OldN
To bless us all with love and life and lightO
And when they foldN
Each other in their arms ye stir the sightO
We look and loP
The past is passing and the present seemsC
To wish to goP
Ye pass between them on your mystic wayQ
Thro' scene and sceneR
The Old Year marches through your ranks awayQ
To what has beenS
The while the pageant moves it scarcely seemsC
Apart of earthT
The Old Year dies and heaven crowns with gleamsC
The New Year's birthT
And you you crown yourselves with heaven's graceU
To enter hereV
A prayer ascending from an orphan faceU
Or just one tearW
May meet you in the years that are to beX
A blessing rareW
Ye pass beneath the arch of charityX
Who passeth thereW
Is blest in heaven and is blest on earthT
And God will careW
Beyond the Old Year's death and New Year's birthT
For each of you ye Mystics everywhereW
