Ho, a day

Whereon we may up and away

To the year that is holding her cup of wild wine;

If we drink we shall be as the gods of the wold

In the blithe days of old

Elate with a laughter divine;

Yea, and then we shall know

The rare magic of solitude so

We shall nevermore wish its delight and its dreams to forego,

And our blood will upstir and upleap

With a fellowship splendid, a gladness impassioned and deep!
