Y ..-.U , 5, Page 158 Q Psalm nf emnrp Beneath the over-arching trees I went- On campus full of faces dear to me- With straggling step and pondering head, low-bent, Considering varied seasons spent ln thy fair bosom, for me made, Oh, let me, 'ere I leave thy luring shade, Crave but the grace just true to be, Sing thee a psalm of memory. Ah, life with thee is joyous, life is sweet- 'Tis sweet to see thy leafy roof outspread, Where birds their lyric notes repeat, To hear the leaves sigh overhead: ' 'Tis sweet to watch the sailing cloud-craft fleet, Fair Spring with passing footstep thrills, Q And all her air with music fills: 'Tis then that life with thee is joyous, life is sweet. Ah, life with thee is joyous, life is sweet- Thy bosom filled with summer's fragrant breeze When, from thy brimming flowers, the bees Delicious nectar drain: When little winds leap, laughingly, To soothe the heart of pain, And pathways stretched cool and shadowy, Do lure the haggard feet to reign. 'Tis when thy maples beam with crimson dyes, And all thy golden leaves, that sigh Like little busy tongues of fires Looking brighter 'gainst the sky, Now to the earth are falling: When restless birds, within thy midst, In saddened tones are calling- Ah, life within thy bosom has been joyous, has been sw 'Tis sweet to watch thee from afar- When Autumn's gorgeous glow ls wrapped in winter's coverlet of snow, When feathery inmates from thy shelter flee: Thy faithful squirrels scamper up thy naked trees: When wintry winds begin to moan ln dreary whistling monotone.- Still then, ah, life with thee is joyous, life is sweet. Aye, aye, may blessing ever rest- On thee that dost God's behest: And when in distant years thy children prove Themselves worthy of thy love, Still true to honor and to thee Will pledge undying fealty To thee in whose fair bosom Life is joyous, life is sweet. eet.

Lena Powell has never yet been known to be absent from her easy chair and magazine in the library one single hour since she first became acquainted with the institution. The Board of Regents should take notice and subscribe for more magazines, also establish an easier chair so as to furnish further stimulation for this love of literature which she seems to possess. ,' W QL--idk F F l 2 L l l 1 F M F I I I Y r E 31 I l E I r i l f ,v rf i 4 Q lv r.
