NEW YEAR CAROL, by ANONYMOUS First Line: Here we bring new water Last Line: And the bugles that do shine Variant Title(s): The New Year Subject(s): Holidays;new Year | ||||||||
Here we bring new water from the well so clear, For to worship God with, this happy New Year. Sing, levy dew, sing levy dew, the water and the wine; The seven bright gold wires and the bugles that do shine. Sing reign of Fair Maid, with gold upon her toe -- Open you the West Door, and turn the Old Year go. Sing reign of Fair Maid with gold upon her chin -- Open you the East Door, and let the New Year in. Sing levy dew, sing levy dew, the water and the wine; The seven bright gold wires and the bugles that do shine. | 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 FOR THE NEW YEAR (2) by ROBERT CREELEY TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
