The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
For those that here we see no more,
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
And ancient forms of party strife;
Ring in the nobler modes of life,
With sweeter manners, purer laws.
The faithless coldness of the times;
Ring out, ring out my mournful rhymes,
But ring the fuller minstrel in.
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.

Happy New Year to everyone. I hope this year will even be better than the past, and problems tackled, issues resolved. Ambibo moves on…
I’m also calling for Dipolognons who now reside in the Southern California area. DISC ( Dipolognons In Southern California ) has opened an unofficial web/blog site for info about the group, while our official site is still under construction. The page, albeit in rudimentary form (pardon me) contains information on how to contact myself or charity ann and become a member.
