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.
Ring out
the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is
going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the
grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more,
Ring out the
feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out a
slowly dying cause,
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler
modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want,
the care the sin,
The faithless coldness of the times;
Ring out, ring out
my mournful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false
pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the
love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.
