Upon December's windy portico
The Old Year stood, and looked out where the sun
Went wading down the west, through drifting clouds.
"I, too, shall sink full soon to restr" lie sighed,
4 'And follow where ray children's feet have trod;
Brave January, beauteous Ma>?and June,
My lovely daughters, and my valiant sons,
All, all save one have left me for that bourne,
Men call the Past. It seems but yesterday
I saw fair August, laughing with the sea,
Snaring the Earth with her seductive wiles
And making conquest even with the sun.
Yet has she gone, and left me here to mourn."
Then spake December, from an opeij door:
"Father, the night grows cold; come in and rest;
Sit with me here beside this glowing grate;
I have not left thee; thou art not alone;
My house is thine; all warm with love and light,
And bright with holly and with cedar sweet.
My stalwart arm is thine to lean upon;
The feast is spread, I only wait for thee;
God smiles upon thy dead, smile thou on me?"
Then through the open door the Old Year passed,
And darkness settled on the outer world.

?omorrow.
