What can be said in New Year rhymes, <br />That's not been said a thousand times? <br /> <br />The new years come, the old years go, <br />We know we dream, we dream we know. <br /> <br />We rise up laughing with the light, <br />We lie down weeping with the night. <br /> <br />We hug the world until it stings, <br />We curse it then and sigh for wings. <br /> <br />We live, we love, we woo, we wed, <br />We wreathe our prides, we sheet our dead. <br /> <br />We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear, <br />And that's the burden of a year.<br /><br />Ella Wheeler Wilcox<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-year/
