SONG FOR A YEAR, by                    
First Line: Wrapped in silver and gold
Last Line: Or another song to sing?
Subject(s): Holidays; New Year


Wrapped in silver and gold,
When the year and my heart were young,
There was never a song so welcome,
There was never a song so sung.

"Always and ever," I caroled,
"Till the rivers of earth run dry."
(Only the old or weary
Believe that songs must die.)

Silenced the rippling measure . . .
What will the New Year bring?
Ghost of a young love's passion,
Or another song to sing?
