Ring Out, Wild Bells, to the Wild Sky

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.

. . .

—In Memoriam, Alfred, Lord Tennyson

Cheers! And Happy New Year 2025! Here’s to the miracle we call “life!”
