歌词
Stay yet, my friends, a moment stay
Stay till the good old year
So long companion of our way
Shakes hands, and leaves us here
Oh stay, oh stay
One little hour, and then away
The kindly year, his liberal hands
Have lavished all his store
And shall we turn from where he stands
Because he gives no more
Oh stay, oh stay
One grateful hour, and then away
Stay if you like
Stay if you love
Stay to have more
Or if you've had enough
Even while we sing, he smiles his last
And leaves our sphere behind
The good old year is with the past
Oh be the new as kind
Oh stay, oh stay
One parting strain, and then away
Written by: Adam Steele, William Cullen Bryant
