The Skull On a dusty old shelf, in Bill Christian ' s small room, Where many a freshman has gone to his doom. Is an ugly old skull, full of ugly old lumps. Of sutures, foramens, and fissures, and bumps. There it sits — just a worm-eaten mass of old bone. Neglected, forgotten, uncared-for, alone. There is nothing to tell from whose body it came. No markings, no history, not even a name. Where now are the locks of luxuriant hair That once hung ' round that forehead, so barren and bare? Where now are the eyes that once lovingly shown As they looked into others as bright as their own? Where now are the lips that once lovingly clung To others as red? Where the songs that they sung? Nothing left in their place but long dull, yellow teeth, And the low-hanging jaw that swings idly beneath. Who would think that there once dwelt a wonderful brain That knew pleasure and happiness, sorrow and pain, Or that others once loved it — how odd it all seems, That it once pressed a pillow made light by sweet dreams. All gone; gone and forgotten, like last winter ' s snows, Or the perfume and beauty of last summer ' s rose, And now, on the shelf in Anatomy Hall, Is a musty old, dusty old skull — and that ' s all.
