FOR OURS IS TO DO

Page 29 text:

Four long years we've sojourned here In harmony, peace and love, Accepting all that came to us From the heavenly powers above. The time has now arrived After long and tedious years, For us to raise our voices In this, our farewell song. The men who have sojourned with us, Who have taught us day by day. Now set us on an uncharted road. Then quietly fade away. But this rendezvous we'll keep alone O challenging universe, Your forces we will bravely meet For better, not for worse. WILLIAM GARFIELD WILKERSON. Farewell Lincoln, Mother of Men, pride of our hearts! We embark upon new careers, we know not where. By thy guidance weak youths have become strong men and wise. Many times we have sung thy praises far and nigh; Many times our loyalty has lifted thee on high. From thee, O Foster Mother, we have gained more than we can e'er repay! And now we turn toward the world; we await the fates inevitable; Alas! we embark from those sunny shores we have loved so well. Through the fog of our ignorance thy shining light has ever guided us. The fates choose, and we must do their bidding; The world without awaits our coming; O, Alma Mater, give us courage! 27 J. HOWARD PAYNE.
