For these buds, then, girls, I wish you, As they breathe love round us yet, That you keep as chaste as the lily And sweet as our violet ! That your ev'ry day may be happy, ' And free from all care and strife,- May the stumbling blocks in your pathway. Prove stepping stones in your life E May your lives be one piece of music, Played well by the skilful hand, And the keys of that grand soul's organ, Linked in love and harniony, stand ! ' And oh, when the last chords are sounded 9 And your souls soar into Realms Higher, May the songs of your lives be resoundecl, Throughout the Invisible Choir ! . , 1 ' f - ll f fl x 'ii t All , rr r, rrrr f ll'-wllll H 1 X A E5 i -m.,,x, Wy X.

The watchword of Duty, guard, girls,-- Cherish each some high ideal,- ln the search for only the perfect, You idealize the real ! The pure, the high, and tl1e holy, Is within, and 11ot without,- That which Heaven crowns as noble Puts all earthly praise to rout ! Oh ! how gladly would I sing yon, Some refrain, ere yet we part ! Something sweet, whose word and melody. 'Would a chord strike in each heart ! But the singer's voice is feeble, Her 'lyre no music brings,- And her heart can only echo The Farewell that each now sing But yet, for our Alma Mater, E For her lily and violet, That shielded and guided us gently, And whose fragrance is with us yet,-- Let me whisper to you a message, Breathe a parting wish of mine, To place in some hidden corner, And recall in some far OH' time l 22
