Ein this iliarultg How beautiful upon the mountain height The feet of those who bear the light afar, That all may follow safe: where shines no star, VVhere'en the upward Way is lost to sight, And steep inelines are pauoplied by Night, They bear straight on, o'er erags that hindering bar Till clouds and mists, that the clear brightness mar, Fade away before Mornings radiant light. Dear Teachers, of the kindly word and true, Of kindly deeds that star-like gleam our way, Oh, may your life Work ever brighter be And Wisdoni prove glad benison to you, Changing dark Night to never-ending Day Beyond the height, beyond the mystic Sea. -Katherine E. Corbett, '10 25
