Edith Nesbit - New Year
Work rating: Low

IN the coming year enfolded 
    Bright and sad hours lie, 
Waiting till you reach and live them 
    As the year rolls by. 


In the happy hours and radiant 
    I would like to be 
Somewhere out of sight, forgotten, 
    Your delight to see. 


But when you are tired and saddened, 
    Vexed with life, dismayed, 
I would steal your grief, and lay it 
    Where my own is laid-- 


Bleed my heart out in your service 
    If, set free from pain, 
You, through me, found life worth living, 
    Glad and fair again.
