At New Year’s

Editor’s Note: This is a guest post by Thomas Banks, a classical educator and poet.

Back to their first positions
The vagrant stars have stepped,
Our human resolutions
Quite humanly kept.

But it must make sweet sport
When thunders out abroad
At our failings’ report
The reckless laugh of God.
