Classic Poem

GOOD-BY, Old Year!
Good-by!
We have been happy — you and I;
We have been glad in many ways;
And now, that you have come to die,
Remembering our happy days,
'Tis hard to say, " Good-by —
Good-by, Old Year!
Good-by! "

Good-by, Old Year!
Good-by!
We have seen sorrow — you and I —
Such hopeless sorrow, grief and care,
That now, that you have come to die,
Remembering our old despair,
'Tis sweet to say, " Good-by —
Good-by, Old Year!
