“iRütf Out,

Wild Seth

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 out, wild bells, to the wild s The Flying cloud, the Frosty The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.

Ring out the want, the care, the sin. The Faithless coldness of the times; But ring the Fuller minstrel in. Ring out False pride in place and blood, The civic slander and the spite; Ring in the love of truth and right. Ring in the common love of good. Ring out old shapes of Foul disease, Ring out the narrowing lust of gold; Ring out the thousand wars of old. Ring in the thousand years of peace. Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes,

Ring in redress to all mankind.

Allred, Lord Tennyson
