A NEW YEAR THOUGHT by ALEXANDER LOUIS FRASER

First Line: FINIS' IS WRIT: A BOOK AWAY IS LAID
Last Line: ALAS, THAT I SHOULD STILL UNPRACTISED BE!
Subject(s): HOLIDAYS; NEW YEAR;

"Finis" is writ: a book away is laid,
With blanks and blots,—the record that I made:
Since Time a stainless one holds out to me,
Alas, that I should still unpractised be!
