Painter and Decorator OFFICIAL ORGAN OF The Brotherhood of Painters, VOLUME XXXI JANUARY, 1917 New Year's Morning By HELEN HUNT JACKSON. Only a night from old to new! Only a night and so much wrought! But said, "The New Year rest has brought." The Old Year's heart its hopes laid down "The blossoms of the New Year's crown The Old Year's heart was full of greed; My thirst is bitter and unslaked, I have been reckless; it shall be Quiet and calm and pure of life. And find sweet peace where I leave strife.” Only a night from old to new! Night and the healing balm of sleep! Each morn is New Year's morn come true, More of a festival to keep. All nights are sacred nights to make All days are sacred days to wake Only a night from old to new! Only a sleep from night to morn! NUMBER ONE |
