THIS NEW YEAR OF OUR LORD
Let bygones be bygones,
What's huffed at anither
Dinna cloot the auld days
And the new anes thegither;
Wi' the faunts and the failings
O' past years be dune,
Wi' a grip o' fresh freen'ship
A New Year begin.
So sang a Scot. Beneath the burr of his Highland tongue the meaning of some of the words may be obscured, but the meaning of the verse as a whole is plain enough.
Let bygones be bygones. The year of 1927 goes to join in history the years that have gone before. Throw away the hatchet along with the 1926 calendar!
With the faults and the failings of past years be done.
This is another year.
Begin it with a grip of fresh friendship.
