THE NEW YEAR'S ADMONITION
BYj HELEN WHITNEY CLARK.
Wej bid yon welcome, New Year.
Your; joyful dawn we sing!
'And have yon brought u$ golden gifts
Beneath your shining wing?
tTTvill your skies be always fair,
Your! seasons always gay,
With not a single cloud to mar
The brightness of the day?
And will you tell the Springtime,
Her favors we bespeak,
When we in sylvan glades and glens
Her earliest trophies seek? ,
Will March forbear to flout us
With blustering jibes and jeers,
And April show her sunniest smiles
En place of frowns and tears?
Will Summer bring her roses
To" deck the woodland bowers,
With not a single cruel thorn
Concealed among her flowers?
Arid will she coyly linger
"JVheii harvest songs go round,
Till all the gleaming swaths are cut
I And golden sheaves are bound?
! 1; ! 'V .
0,rtell us, happy New Year,
I Will all our friends be true,
I - i
And willeach. cup o'erflow, with joy
Unfoped with taste of rue? i
Will eyery heart be joyful,
nd every eye be bright
Wth not a single tear fay dim
the lustef .of their sight?
! ! - . - ; , - ..
'Afi, nd," the New Year answered,
VSuch gifts I promise not,
For joy and sorrow mingled
1 Must be each mortal's lot.
But if; you heed them rightly
j Life's clouds and thorns and tears
Then hot a single vain regret
Will lnar your futureears?" j
