A song for the old, while its knell is tolled, 
                And  its parting moments fly! 
                But a song and a cheer for the  glad New Year, 
                While we watch the old year die! 
                -George  Cooper
            
                Another year is dawning! Let it be 
                For  better or for worse, another year with thee.
            
                As we start the New Year, 
                Let's  get down on our knees 
                to  thank God we're on our feet. 
                -Irish
            
                Be at war with your voices, at peace with your neighbors,  and let every new year find you a better man. 
                -Benjamin  Franklin
            
                Here's to the bright New Year 
                And a fond farewell to the old; 
                Here's  to the things that are yet to come 
                And to the memories that we hold.
            
                Here's to  you a New Year's Toast 
                May  your Joy ne'er see a Sorrow's Ghost.
            
                In the New Year, 
                may  your right hand always be stretched out in friendship, 
                but  never in want. 
                -Irish
            
                In the year ahead, 
                May  we treat our friends with kindness 
                and  our enemies with generosity.
            
                Let us  resolve to do the best we can with what we've got. 
                -William  Feather
            
May all your troubles during the coming year be as short as your New Year's resolutions.
May it be the best year yet for you And everything prosper you may do.
Here's to the bright New Year
May the best of this year be the worst of next.
                May the Lord keep you in his hand 
                and  never close his fist too tight on you. And may the face of every good news and  the back of every bad news be toward us in the New Year. 
                -Irish
            
May the new year help to make us old.
                May the New Year bring summer in  its wake. 
                -Irish
            
                May the New Year grant you 
                the  eye of a blacksmith on a nail 
                the  good humor of a girl at a dance 
                the  strong hand of a priest on his parish. 
                -Irish
            
                May this sweetest oldtime greeting 
                Heavily laden with good cheers 
                Bring  content, and peace and plenty 
                Enough to last through all the Year.
            
                May your nets be always full-
                your  pockets never empty. 
                May  your horse not cast a shoe 
                nor  the devil look at you 
                in  the coming year. 
                -Irish
            
New Year's Resolution:
                Whatever you resolve to do, 
                On any New Year's Day, 
                Resolve  to yourself to be true 
                And live-the same old way.
            
                Ring out the old, ring in the new, 
                Ring  happy bells across the snow; 
                The  year is going, let him go. 
                -Alfred  Lord Tennyson
            
                Should  auld acquaintance be forgot,
                And never brought to min', 
                Should  auld acquaintance be forgot
                And days of auld lang syne. 
                For auld  lang syne, my dear,
                For auld lang syne, 
                We'll tak'  a cup o' kindness yet,
                For auld lang syne.
            
                And here's  a hand, my trusty fierce,
                And gie's a hand o' thine, 
                And we'll  tak' a right guid willie-waught,
                For auld lang syne. 
                For auld  lang syne, my dear,
                For auld lang syne,
            
                We'll tak'  a cup o' kindness yet, 
                For auld lang syne.
                And surely  ye'll be your pint stowpt,
                And surely I'll be mine, 
                And we'll  tak' a cup o' kindness yet,
                For auld lang syne. 
                For auld  lang syne, my dear,
                For auld lang syne, 
                We'll tak'  a cup o' kindness yet,
                For auld lang syne.
                -Robert Burns
            
                Stir the eggnog, lift the toddy, 
                Happy  New Year, everybody. 
                -Phyllis Mcginley
            
                The New Year is ringing in, 
                May  he be bringing in 
                The  Good Times we've waited for so long in vain! 
                Without  the demanding 
                All  rise and drink standing, 
                And  so say we all of us again and again.
            
                The Old Man's dead. He was okay,  maybe 
                But  here's a health to the brand new baby. 
                I  give you 19-.
            
                To a firm hand for a flighty beast 
                an  old dog for the long road 
                a kettle of fish for Friday 
                and a welcome for the New Year. 
                -Irish
            
                Welcome  be ye that are here, 
                Welcome all, and make good cheer, 
                Welcome all, another year.
