ASTOR, LENOX AND TILDEN FOUNDATIONS. 1911

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor;
Ring in redress to all mankind.

Ring out a slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.

Ring out old shapes of foul disease;
Ring out the narrowing rust of gold;:
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

Ring in the valiant man and free;"
The larger heart, the kinder hands
Ring out the darkness of the land,
Ring in the Christ which is to be.

-Tennyson.

Ring out the ignorance that holds

From man his sonship with the Light,
Ring in the Unity of good;

Ring in the day that hath no night.
