A Song For New Year's Eve Poem by William Cullen Bryant

Thank you for this thoughtful poem, read on 31st December 2013. It was a help not to dwell on some regretted incidents of 2013 and instead to think of the passing of a year as a friend.

Just wondering how they can call this a modern poem when the poet died in 1878... And as usual the computers at PH (are there really any people there in Paris?) have chosen the same poem as poem of the day as they did one year ago today.

A Song for New Year's Eve- enjoy smile - happy new year to all thank you read the poem and enjoy

New year eve song and poem and it is very meaningful and beautiful and also enjoyed.

'Stay yet, my friends, a moment stay— ' yes I'll stay for a drink and then away, I like the spirit of this poem, 'The kindly year, his liberal hands Have lavished all his store. And shall we turn from where he stands, Because he gives no more? Oh stay, oh stay, One grateful hour, and then away.' ok staying for another drink or two, then must walk home in case driving we meet the boys in blue; I would like to say it is more fun falling off a wagon than a horse, but I never fell off a wagon and bailing from a horse I thought wise after losing the stirrips on a station who outsized me, slowing for the corner was time to roll; 'The good old year is with the past; Oh be the new as kind! Oh stay, oh stay, One parting strain, and then away.' yes still staying, I was always a sucker for a good song; hope everyone had as much fun after reading this as I did and To All A Good Year

Goodbye 2016..... hello 2017! ! ! ! ! Happy new year to all++++++++++++++

.....a nice song for New Years ★

time moves on and all we are left with is memories of what we have done.

Oh stay, oh stay, One golden hour, and then away......... What a new look to greet the new. Generally our crazy mood somehow hankers for the new one who is knocking the door while poet reminds us the old that gave us more...more....more to make us achieved OR to make us looser. Perfect song of wisdom.
