Página 210 - 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.

But stay ! no age was e'er degenerate, Unless men held it at too cheap a rate, For in our likeness still we shape our fate.
