¶Liedtext

Arise, O Year in garments pure and white, The snow-light radiant on thy wings, Arise, and with thee bear to mortal sight The hope that round thy coming clings. We look for thee, O dawning year, Thro’ night’s long dreariness. We long for thee, to lighten care, And ease our weariness. Arise, O Year, amidst our toil and strife; With child-hand clasp the branch of peace, Arise o’er ev’ry crush’d heartbroken life, With deathless pledge of victories. We look for thee, O stainless year, Of pureness undespoil’d; We pray that thou may’st ever wear, Thy chrisom-robe unsoil’d. Arise, and comfort those into whose eyes Their well-belov’d have smil’d farewell: Arise, and set our treasure in the skies, That there in rest our heart may dwell. We look for thee, O fadeless year, When earth’s frail flow’rs are gone, And on thy brow ’tis thine to bear An everlasting crown.
