English poem
The Glad New Year
by W. K. Tate
It's coming, boys, It's almost here. It's coming, girls, The grand New Year.
A year to be glad in, Not to be sad in; A year to live in, To gain and give in.
A year for trying, And not for sighing; A year for striving And healthy thriving.
It's coming, boys, It's almost here. It's coming, girls, The grand New Year.
--MARY MAPES DODGE.
