ces ring,And life to forests gaunt and chill they bring. A. E. B. 20 The Blue Jay 21 The Blue Jay A flash of blue, a dash of white, Gleam from the branches dead,As from oaks to beeches and hickories flits The jay with the crested head;Then in crannies the acorns and nuts he stores, His winters feast to spread. Tis said hes the dread of the feathered-folk,— This robber in bright array-That they mourn when he drives them from new-builtnests. Or carries their eggs away.And cry aloud when he takes their young, WithhisTah, yah, jay! Devoted is he to his nestlings and mate, Or to jays that are feeble and old;Delightfully gentle his household ways. Though his neighbors he loves to scold.Pedunkle! Pedunkle! Parlez-vous! Sweet tones his voice can hold. Hes a handsome, noisy, unsociable bird,— An amusing mimic and tease;Hes the bane of the sleepy, half-blind owls, Till the mischievous fellow they seize;But in spite of his pranks, we like him well, This clever knave of the trees. A. E. B. 22

BLUE JAY The Cardinal 23 The Cardinal When autumn woods are bare and dead, A crested bird, of cardinal red. Sways like an oak-leaf overhead; And sighs, D d d r r r e e e a a a r ! r ! r ! When winter woods are white with snow. And drifts pile high as wild winds blow. Like flame this torchlike bird doth glow; And cries, W w w h h h e e e w ! w ! w ! When springtimes crimson buds appear, And red-gold columbines are here, This songster welcomes the new year; And sings, C c c h h h e e e e e e r I r ! r ! When summers sun sheds scorching beams,And cardinal flowers beside the streamsGrow wild, this brilliant bird still gleams;And whistles, H h h u u u e ! e ! e ! A. E. B. 24cu31924022541563
New Year's celebrations have a long history dating back to ancient civilizations. The earliest recorded New Year's celebration is believed to have been held by the ancient Babylonians around 2000 BCE. They held a celebration called Akitu, which lasted for 11 days and marked the beginning of the new year, the return of the goddess Ishtar, and the re-creation of the world. The ancient Romans also celebrated the new year, although their calendar was different from the one we use today. The Roman calendar originally began on March 1, and the new year was celebrated on the vernal equinox, which is the first day of spring. The Roman calendar was later changed by Julius Caesar to begin on January 1, and this change was eventually adopted by most Western civilizations. New Year's celebrations have been held on January 1 in many cultures around the world, including in Western Europe, the Americas, and Asia. In many cultures, New Year's is a time for people to reflect on the past year and make resolutions for the new year. It is also a time for celebration, with parties, fireworks, and other festive events. In modern times, New Year's celebrations continue to be a popular way to mark the start of a new year and to look forward to the future with hope and optimism. While both Christmas and New Year holidays are times for celebration, they have different origins and traditions. New Year's Day is a secular holiday that is celebrated around the world, while Christmas is a religious holiday that is primarily celebrated by Christians.
