Ding, dong!
[1]
Tell us, year, before you go,—Ding, dong! Ding, dong!
Why at last you hurry so,
Though at first so very slow?
Ding, dong! Ding, dong!
34
Till the baby year gets stronger?
Ding, dong! Ding, dong! Ding, dong! Ding, dong!
2.
Why can't years come back again,Ding, dong! Ding, dong!
Just the same as they have been?
Ding, dong! Ding, dong!
Big folks say 't would never do,
None would live the past anew;
But I'd like it, wouldn't you?
Ding, dong! Ding, dong! Ding, dong! Ding, dong! Ding, dong! Ding, dong!
