Alfred, Lord Tennyson Text:
Ring out the old,
Ring in the new,
Ring happy bells,
across the snow.
The year is going,let him go;
Ring happy bells,
across the snow.
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.
