Class Poem EXCALIBUR There is no armor glistening in the sun That's half so strong as knowledge fairly won On this brief battlefield of life; no sword That thrusts so deeply as the unchecked word Of truth where once before had been dark lies. There is no vision flaming in the skies That burns so brightly as the brave, doomed dream Of better things to come, the sudden gleam Of an ideal. There is no blazoned shield Like strong distrust determined not to yield To promise-shouting tyrants with their cry Of hate and blood, their banners floating by In stirring pageant. And there is no doom Quite like the dull unprofitable gloom Of life without unceasing wish to know; Prom understanding, fear can never grow. So girt with this strong armor you have gained Within these short years, set forth armed and trained To face this life of battles till they cease; The fight well-won, then come success and peace. JANE BROWER.
