GOOD-BY, OLD YEAR

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! Good-by!"
