'tOle Missn We clink no cups of sparkling wine With rosy wreaths about the brim. XVe gather not beneath the shine Of bright electroliers to twine A graceful garland fresh and fine To deck a regal diadem. Away with idle pomp and show! Away with cant of knights and queen! Away with gauds of long ago That every day but dimmer grow! Away with feudal overflow To guild this simple, guilelcss sc-cnc! NYith neither pagent nor parade, Nor clink of cups within thy walls- NYC gather in thy classic shade, In spirit, every youth and maid 'lhat ever as a student strayed Along thy happy lanes and halls. NVe gather at thy feet again XVith glowing hearts and kindling eyes. We feel thy iire in blood and brain! It thrills our beings to attain-f We hear and heed thy stirring strain- Our spirits pant for enterprise. We pledge our lives to lofty aims. XVith high resolves, we front the years Thy smile inspires heroic flames Within our souls to etch our names Among the fairest. noblest fames That earth remembers and reveres. Thou art our mother. true and tried. As such we love thee. not as queen- Away with regal pomp and pride. Yvith servile praise and alight beside That apes aristocratic stride, Or mocks at democratic mien. May Heaven crown thy brow with peace And make thy factions melt away! May all thy frail contentions cease, Till Scythia. hand in hand. with Greece Shall prove the pledge of thy increase From radiant to most radiant day. D.
