Quick roll away the circling years
Bringing new hopes and calming fears
May the glad year which now does live
Bring thee all pleasures life can give
Health, strength, and joy place on your way
Happiness spread from day to day
Yet even to thy God give praise
For all the blessings of thy days
Thanks to Kate Gibson for this
From Wikipedia about 1905: "As the second year of the massive Russo-Japanese War begins, more than 100,000 die in the largest world battles of that era, and the war chaos leads to the 1905 Russian Revolution against Nicholas II of Russia (Shostakovich's 11th Symphony is subtitled The Year 1905 to commemorate this) and the start of Revolution in the Kingdom of Poland. Canada and the U.S. expand west, with the Alberta and Saskatchewan provinces and the founding of Las Vegas. 1905 is also the year in which Albert Einstein, at this time resident in Bern, publishes his four Annus Mirabilis papers in Annalen der Physik (Leipzig) (March 18, May 11, June 30 and September 27), laying the foundations for more than a century's study of theoretical physics."
