The Old Year by Edgar A. Guest
The poem contemplates the passing of the old year and its memory. It compares the year to Marley and a leaf, asserts that though time ends, the influence of the year endures in memory and in writing written on generations. It honors how years shape life and remain immortal in human thought.
