There is currently a \paper{} and \layout{}.  I really don't
want to talk about anything that happened before 2.4, because
I really don't know what the relationship is.

I'm looking into what \paper{} and \layout{} do.  Stay tuned.

There's no \note{} anymore.  {} is like the old \note{}, and
\relative c' { } is like the old \note{\relative c'{ }}.

I don't know.  I don't write music with lyrics.  Let's look at the
docs... Instrument-specific notation -> Vocal music.
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.5/Documentation/user/out-www/lilypond/ 
Setting-simple-songs.html

Hmm, it says that for simple stuff, just add \addlyrics under the notes.
Let's see if that works.  Hey, it does!

insert

\addlyrics{
type lyrics here
}

into your example, right after your notes.  Here's some context:
------
%15
        d''8. c''16 b'8 a' gis' e' c'' b' |
        a'2 \bar "|."
}
\addlyrics{
type lyrics here
}



        \layout {
        }
-----


PLEASE, please read the docs!  We've spent hours and hours writing
and editing the docs.  This question required ten seconds of reading
the first section about vocal music!  How could we make this easier to
find?
