Song Of The New Year Comments

'Ring out the shame and sorrow, And the misery and sin, And the dawn of every morrow Will in peace be ushered in.' May peace reign throughout the year 2018 with goodness of heart.

Lovely poem. I hope every morrow is ushered in peace and joy for coming new year.

- - -Slowly whispered- lowly sung- Came the echo pure and holy In the happy angel tongue: - - - A lovely way to usher in the New Year.... Proclamations of a Wonderful year! ! ! ! ~~~~Beautifully written.

Chiming on! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

The poem represents the sentiments of a noble as well as a common man while welcoming a new year. Word by word the poem forms a beautiful string of pearls. I would love to recall the following: Ring out the shame and sorrow / And the misery and sin, ... And I listened as a love / To an utterance that flows / In syllables like dewdrops / From the red lips of a rose,

Great poem. Let the peace and joy ushered in.

I heard the bells at midnight Ring in the dawning year; and lo new sun born with hope

A great poem from an underrated poet. The rhyme and resonance is spot on.

Peace be ushered in. good.
