The New Year Z Welcomed
With Bangs And Booms,
But My Heart Z The Same'
A Slow Melancholic Pain Z There,
The Hours Stretched Ahead,
Lazy Minutes Ticking Away Slowly,
Age Advancing Steadily,
Makes The Childhood,
Even More Distant,Even More A Dream
The Golden Light Filling Dawn And Dusk,
The Sound Of Wheat Coming Out Of Husk,
The Noisy Stream Joining The Sea,
Having Flashing Green Weeds And Algae,
But We Have No Time To Stop And See,
The Old Woman's Face Is Full With Dismay,
Worries Never Leave Her Whether Its January Or May,
Her House A Wreck,
Her Children Getting More Weaker,
The Rulers Red With Fury,
Whipping The Nation With New Lashes,
With Each Passing Day,
The Misery Gets Worse,
Who Would Celebrate;
But With A Cold And Heavy Heart,
