----------
Health and prosperity
Your life to cheer,
With every blessing
For the bright New Year.
----------
On this New Year's morning
My wishes take their flight,
And wing to thee a greeting
That would make all things bright.
----------
For friends we strive to pierce
The future, dense and dark,
But not a ray of light
We see, nor faintest spark;
But yet while we have faith to cheer,
We trusting wih "A bright New Year."
----------
I cannot tell what thou wilt bring to me,
O strange New Year,
But tho' thick darkness shrouds thy days and months,
I will not fear.
Why should I fret my heart to know before
What may befall?
With this one thought content - I ask no more -
God knows it all.
----------
O childhood is a golden time,
When all the world is bright,
When sunshine comes with every morn,
Sweet dreams with every night.
Were I a fairy, I would give
To thee a magic kiss,
That should ensure for the New Year,
As fair a time as this.
