Here we bring new water from the well so clear, For to worship God with, this happy New Year. Sing, levy dew, sing levy dew, the water and the wine; The seven bright gold wires and the bugles that do shine. Sing reign of Fair Maid, with gold upon her toe -- Open you the West Door, and turn the Old Year go. Sing reign of Fair Maid with gold upon her chin -- Open you the East Door, and let the New Year in. Sing levy dew, sing levy dew, the water and the wine; The seven bright gold wires and the bugles that do shine. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VARIATIONS: 15 by CONRAD AIKEN ALL FOOLS' CALENDER by DONALD (GRADY) DAVIDSON PLACE FOR A THIRD by ROBERT FROST TO A MOTH SEEN IN WINTER by ROBERT FROST AND THE GREATEST OF THESE IS WAR by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON |
