December Thirtieth I changed my name when I got free Sweet voices callin' "Uncle Rome" He's passed Heaven's River now, an' soon He'll call across its foam: "You, Rome, you damn ol' nigger, Loose your boat an' come on Home!" HOWARD WEEDEN December Thirty-First 'Tis midnight's holy hour-and silence now Is brooding, like a gentle spirit, o'er The still and pulseless world. Hark! on the winds, The bells' deep notes are swelling. 'Tis the knell Of the departed year. No funeral train Is sweeping past; yet on the stream and wood, And Winter, with his aged locks-and breathe wail, A melancholy dirge o'er the dead Year, Gone from the earth forever.
