A Happy New Year to All My Jewish Friends.
From the orb of day, a golden ray,
From the moon its silvery beam,
From the twinkling star in heaven afar,
Ile took its shimmering gleam.
From the azure sky and the clouds on high,
Ile borrowed their mingled glow,
And the verdant green,—all the varying scene,
Of beauteous world below.
And the grateful praise for joyous days,
That cusses from out the heart,
And the happy smile of romping child
Yet free from guile and art.
From the murmuring brook, its plaint he took
Whilst dreamily flowing by;
And the whispering breeze amidst the trees
Lent its low and mournful sigh.
