NEW YEAR
By MAMIE OZBURN ODUM
Perhaps the old year brought us grief and joy,
Like ancient reckoner of days
But taught wisdom with the pain it bore
To us in many kinds of ways.
So face the New Year with a stauncher heart,
And glory in this Native land,
Pray the year will bring eternal love
To a mighty host-a valiant band.
Forward! The God of Host is with us still,
He makes provisions and commands,
No grateful peoples could or would forget
That bounty flows from ample hands.
Forward! To greater things on land and sea,
The wheels of industry must turn;
We must never take a backward stride,
But work and plan our food to earn.
March on. the call may be to muster arms.
And back to office, fields and school,
And back to factories and fields
All business done by golden rule,
Pray on! Our altar fires must brighter burn,
Our boys and girls must know that we—
With heart and brain in halls of state
Are building for prosperity.
New Year is minted of flawless gold.
Each moment is a coin that buys
In metaphor and moral, it is said
The costliest of merchandise.
To work, to sow and harvest plentitude,
To understand, and he understood,
Behold! The New Year calls, do not look back
But stronger build a Nations brotherhood.
