ORACLE A Ouest Hor 1915 I. Four years through rough trails winding, Both joys and troubles finding, Ever onward we have forged from day to day. And now four years are over, Our fates about us hover, And make our four years’ toiling seem as play. Il. Our Quest is still off yonder, But hope, where e’er we wander Will still through trackless forest show a way. That path, of pain or beauty, Is still our path of duty And through the woods we’ll follow it today. III. And when the path we’ve followed Through vales by trouble hollowed, And stumbled up the craggy steeps of night, When into daylight coming, Like joyful pigeons homing, What use shall we then make of our new light? IV. If through the world behind us Some old friends seek to find us, Shall we not run to help them with their load? If those who stumble, tarry Beneath the strain they carry, Shall we not gladly help them on the road? We And so through pain and pleasure, Though others joy may measure With gold or worldly power to crush the small, Let’s push on, and together Thru fair and foulest weather Our Quest shall be “True happiness for all.” A. B. McKAY, ’15.
