FROM TENNYSON'S "IN MEMORIAM."
The time draws near tho birth of Christ: The moon is hid, t-iio night is still; A single church below the hill Is pealing, folded in the mist. • • « Ring out, wild bells, to tho wild sky, The Hying cloud, the frosty light: The year is dying in the night; Ring out, wild bells, and let lum die. Ring out tho grief that saps the mind. For those that here we see no more; Ring: out the fciul of rich and poor; Ring in redress to all mankind. Ring out false pride in place and birth, The civic slander and the spite: Ring in the love of truth and right, Ring in the common love of good. Ring in the valiant man and free. The larger heart, the kindlier hand: Ring out the darkness of the land, Ring in the Christ that is to bo.
