NEWYEAR'S EVE.

---

i
If you're waking call me early, call me early, mother dear,
For I would see the sun rise upon the glad Newyear.
It is the last Newyear that I shall ever see,
Then ye may lay me low i' the mould and think no more o' me.

ii.
Tonight I saw the sun set: he set and left behind
The good old year, the dear old time, and all my peace of mind;
