Old Year! the tried, the true, I hold you close,
  Though fast your moments fleet;
    For yours has been the gracious gift to know
      Our sainted ones, whose feet
        Will come this way no more. For this your boon,
          Through many a pang and tear,
            Blended with tender patient memories,
              I love you, good old Year!
                Not that your days unclouded came and went,
                  Not that the light was sweet,
                    But that the darkness drew us close to Christ
                      In following His feet.
                        Hallowed by fires of pain--God's proof of love,
                          Pure, infinite, and free--
                            You helped us gauge the cost and weigh the worth
                              Of human sympathy.
      - [Old Year]
