Back Poem:"Grant me a wish now, O bonny New Year,- What do you wish me from far or anear? Show me your gifts and your treasures rare, Read me your prophecies, dark or fair! What lies before me of loss or gain- What is awaiting me, joy or pain? What is my portion of bale or bliss- Fate's cruel frown or fortune's kiss? Whate'er you wish then O bright New Year, Whether that wish bring a smile or a tear, Message and token it still shall be Sent by my Father through you to me." (Excerpt from New Years Wishes by Martha Oliver, pub.1905 Mershon Co. New York.)
