MAROON 't i tK THE SWAN SONG There’s a smile on your lips but a tear in your heart. For my broad way stretches far. And the rosy flush of this dawn to be Finds you now like a ship on a bar. For the vain regrets of what might have been Are o’erwhelmed by things that are. And you’re facing my paths, for I am Life, Equipped to make or to mar. Consummalum est, and you boldly step To my world that is fraught with care. Today you are here and tomorrow— Tomorrow you’ll be—O where? Will you drift with the tide as transients, Seeking port now here, now there? Will you set a course like Columbus, And to conquer new lands will you dare? O Life, we are fit for the struggle. And we face you with weapons equipped With a faith in the God that created, Wre feel we will ne’er be outstripped By the masses that wander your highways, W'ith pleasure and lust as a goal. That seek the things you willingly'’ grant. But in giving you take your toll. Yes, Life, we are ready to face you, And conscience as compass we’ll use. And your luring lights will be beacons To show us the path to refuse. For we know that the course that we must take Leads not where the sirens nod. And we’ll wander not, though the call be strong. From the path that is marked by God. 20
