New Year Poems

Poetry gives expressions to innermost thoughts and desires of human mind. New Year poems that we have covered here are handpicked from the very famous ones written by well-known poets and have been recited on New Year Eve year after year. Our collection includes the very famous 'Auld Lang Syne' written by Robert Burns who was a famous 18th century Scottish poet Robert Burns. This poem is actually believed to be the verses from one of the old Scotch songs that Burns put down on paper as a piece of 'native genius'. The song has been played at several New Year parties around the world for years and its lyrics have been improvised upon many times.

The other poems that we have included in our collection are:
  • 'The Passing of the Year' by Robert William Service who has penned the transition of the years, ending of one and beginning of other, from point of view of the optimists and the pessimists.
  • 'New Year on Dartmoor' penned by Sylvia Plath that describes the excitement of a little child and sad realization of the truth by his or her mom that all the sparkle visible on New Year Day will eventually give way to challenges and hardships.
  • 'New Year's Morning' by Helen Hunt Jackson inspires us to treat every new day as the New Year Day and be ready to make a fresh start.
  • 'New Year's Eve' is yet another poetry by Robert William Service where he uses a ragged old dying man as the metaphor for the Old Year who dies as New Year steps in.
