A Song For New Year’s Eve<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stay yet, my friends, a moment stay – \u00a0
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stay till the good old year,
So long companion of our way,
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Shakes hands and leaves us here.\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0 Oh stay, oh stay,
One little hour, and then away.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The year, whose hopes were high and strong,
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Has now no hopes to wake;
Yet one hour more of jest and song\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 For his familiar sake.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Oh stay, oh stay,
One mirthful hour, and then away.<\/p>\n

The kindly year, his liberal hands
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Have lavished all his store.
And shall we turn from where he stands,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Because he gives no more?\u00a0
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Oh stay, oh stay,
One grateful hour, and then away.<\/p>\n

Days brightly came and calmly went,
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 While yet he was our quest;
How cheerfully the week was spent!
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 How sweet the seventh day’s rest!
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Oh stay, oh stay,
One golden hour, and then away.<\/p>\n

Dear friends were with us, some who sleep
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Beneath the coffin-lid;
What pleasant memories we keep
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Of all they said and did!
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Oh stay, oh stay,
One tender hour, and then away.<\/p>\n

Even while we sing, he smiles his last,
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 And leaves our sphere behind.
The good old year is with the past;
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Oh, be the new as kind!\u00a0
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Oh stay, oh stay,
One parting strain, and then away.<\/p>\n
