HERE'S to the year that's awa'! We will drink it in strong and in sma'; And here's to ilk bonnie young lassie we lo'ed, While swift flew the year that's awa'. And here's to ilk, etc. Here's to the sodger who bled, And the sailor who bravely did fa'; Their fame is alive though their spirits are fled On the wings o' the year that's awa'. Their fame is alive, etc. Here's to the friends we can trust When storms of adversity blaw; May they live in our song and be nearest our hearts, Nor depart like the year that's awa'. May they live, etc. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...NEW YEAR'S POEM by MARGARET AVISON A SPEED OF HISTORY by MARGARET AVISON NEW YEAR'S DAY by DAVID LEHMAN LINES FOR THE NEW YEAR by JULIE CARR I AM RUNNING INTO A NEW YEAR by LUCILLE CLIFTON |
