Poems (Curwen)/A New Year's Wish

A New Year's Wish.
Dear, if all my prayers for thee Were answered, this New Year should be   The brightest and the best; Thy cup with joy should overflow, Health's rose upon thy cheek should glow,   Success crown every quest; Friends should bless, and sweet hope cheer, And love make glad the live-long year.
ANOTHER.
May joy be thine this New Year's morn Thy future paths without a thorn; The coming days without a sorrow, And each day bring a glad to-morrow.
