When Midnight Came To Close The Year, We Sighed To Think It Thus Should Take The Hours It Gave Us--Hours As Dear As Sympathy And Love Could Make Their Blessed Moments,--Every Sun Saw Us, My Love, More Closely One. But, Cara, When The Dawn Was Nigh Which Came A New Year'S Light To Shed, That Smile We Caught From Eye To Eye Told Us, Those Moments Were Not Fled: Oh, No,--We Felt, Some Future Sun Should See Us Still More Closely One. Thus May We Ever, Side By Side, From Happy Years To Happier Glide; And Still Thus May The Passing Sigh We Give To Hours, That Vanish O'Er Us, Be Followed By The Smiling Eye, That Hope Shall Shed On Scenes Before Us!
