Ring out, wild bells by Alfred, Lord Tennyson
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.
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.
Ring out a slowly dying cause, and ancient forms of party strife; ring in the nobler modes of life, with sweeter manners, purer laws.
Ring out the want, the care the sin, the faithless coldness of the times; ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes, but ring the fuller minstrel in.
Ring out false pride in place and blood, the civic slander and the spite; ring in the love of truth and right, ring in the common love of good.
Ring out old shapes of foul disease, ring out the narrowing lust of gold; ring out the thousand wars of old, ring in the thousand years of peace.
Ring in the valiant man and free, the larger heart, the kindlier hand; ring out the darkness of the land, ring in the Christ that is to be.
Mistletoe a Christmas by Walter de la Mare
Sitting under the mistletoe (Pale-green, fairy mistletoe), one last candle burning low, all the sleepy dancers gone, just one candle burning on, shadows lurking everywhere: some one came, and kissed me there.
Tired I was; my head would go nodding under the mistletoe (Pale-green, fairy mistletoe), no footsteps came, no voice, but only, just as I sat there, sleepy, lonely, stooped in the still and shadowy air lips unseen - and kissed me there.
