154. Open your doors and let me in!

The poem “New Year,” credited to some anonymous poet, was very popular when I was young.


It’s a wonderful poem. Read it here and open your door to happiness.


I am the little New Year, ho, ho! 
Here I come tripping it over the snow.
Shaking my bells with a merry din –
So open your doors and let me in!


Presents I bring for each and all –
Big folks, little folks, short and tall;
Each one from me a treasure may win –
So open your doors and let me in!


Some shall have silver and some shall have gold,
Some shall have new clothes and some shall have old;
Some shall have brass and some shall have tin – 
So open your doors and let me in!


Some shall have water and some shall have milk,
Some shall have satin and some shall have silk!
But each from me a present may win – 
So open your doors and let me in!
