O ' er the horizon comes stealing A light that is soft and clear, Staining the sky all crimson and gold; — The dawn of a new day is near. Years we ' ve prepared for its coming, Those trials, however, are past; We are ready to take up the world ' s work; For us has the dawn come, at last. It is hard to leave friends and classmates, For each on his way to depart, But the Master of workmen has called us, We are willing to do our small part. For we have worked and have striven, A strong foundation laid, But after all ' tis only A beginning we have made. Our real work lies before us, Preparation alone is done, None knows what the new day will bring us Before our success is won. Like a beacon light — a promise Comes the sun ' s bright disc in sight, And upon the earth comes flooding All the radiant morning light. For the dawn of a new day is breaking After the mists of the night, With courage and hope we will meet it, — Our future, with promise bright. — LOUISE ASHWORTH. Page Twenty-two
