Ring Out, Wild Bells

by Alfred, Lord Tennyson (1850) — a poem card from Justes Mots

The great New Year's summons: ring out the grief and the false, and ring in the larger, kinder thing we might become.

Ring out wild bells to the wild sky,

The flying cloud, the frosty light:

The year is dying in the night;

Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
