THE BIRTHDAY OF THE YEAR.
This, a New Year? Sad is the sky and grey;
The trees writhe still beneath the ruthless blast;
No fresh hope dawns, nor is the old grief past:
All seems the same as it seemed yesterday.
Here is no Babe of Time, as poets say,

Brought in to us from out the unknown vast:
'Ti-, like the Child the giant served aghast,*
Older than eld, wielder of world-wide sway;
And though as Stranger hailed, this wintry morn
By men and bells, yet mark, the wise Earth gets
No greeting ready, and no glad bird trills-
Surely if ever a New Year is born,

'Tis when the Spring charms forth the violets,
And March beams on us with brave daffodils.
ST. SWITHIN.
