10 Class poem. 00 9 9 © Swift was the journey Since first we began Our footsteps to guide In this classical land. Mid sorrows and pleasures We’ve wended our way, And stern duty’s mandates Have tried to obey. Rich graces and wisdom Have burnished the soul, Our labors rewarded As wise men of old. With Homer we’ve sung, By Euclid been taught, From darkness the secrets Of sages we’ve brought. One from our ranks O’er the Styx, Charon bore, The Lotus some ate To return nevermore. But thirty and one Brave, valiant and strong Are left for the Muses To model in song. Now standing as victors, Bright banners unfurl, While Lincoln, Our Mother, Points us to the world. Eugene Shelley Browing.
