\"bellsiledelacite\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
\nThe flying cloud, the frosty light;
\nThe year is dying in the night;
\nRing out, wild bells, and let him die.<\/p>\n

Ring out the old, Ring in the new,
\nRing, happy bells, across the snow:
\nThe year is going, let him go;
\nRing out the false, Ring in the true.<\/p>\n

Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
\nFor those that here we see no more,
\nRing out the feud of Rich and poor,
\nRing in Redress to all mankind.<\/p>\n

Ring out a slowly dying cause,
\nAnd ancient forms of party strife;
\nRing in the nobler modes of life,
\nWith sweeter manners, purer laws.<\/p>\n

Ring out the want, the care the sin,
\nThe faithless coldness of the times;
\nRing out, Ring out my mournful Rhymes,
\nBut Ring the fuller minstrel in.<\/p>\n

Ring out false pride in place and blood,
\nThe civic slander and the spite;
\nRing in the love of truth and Right,
\nRing in the common love of good.<\/p>\n

Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
\nRing out the narrowing lust of gold;
\nRing out the thousand wars of old,
\nRing in the thousand years of peace.<\/p>\n

Ring in the valiant man and free,
\nThe larger heart, the kindlier hand;
\nRing out the darkenss of the land,
\nRing in the Christ that is to be.<\/p>\n
