IVY POEM. H. N. LEGATK. The river Rhine rolls grandly down, Down to the German Sea, ' Twixt lovely banks with ruins crown ' d Of the things that used to be. There is many an ancient castle And many a ruin hold, Held in the knightly days of yore By robber barons bold. In stern and massive grandeur The gray old towers arise. While over them tenderly twining The beautiful ivy lies. Like a green and tender mantle It encircles their ruined walls, And down from angle and buttress In softening verdure falls. With soft and caressing fingers It touches the cold, gray stone. And adds to its rugged boldness A beauty all its own. So round our life in college Let memories tenderly twine, As round over the rough old stones Cling those of the ivy vine. Forgot be every jealousy, Forgot each petty spite ; Remembered only be our joys, The brightness and the light. 101

We meet today in friendship And love that time has made, Love that shall ever faithful prove, Till the last great debt is paid. We meet today to part too soon, And leave our college home. And far and wide across the world In various paths to roam. The tend er ties four years have made We soon must tear away, And part to meet — when, no one knows! But not for many a day. But let us cherish in our hearts These college memories sweet, And not forget these scenes and friends. Though ne ' er again we meet. IVY SONG. Tune — Dear Evelhiit. As we come, after four years of friendship, to part With each other, and scenes so dear to the heart. Our mutual love, which was early begun. Should last for each other and old ' 91. C l07 ' l S. For bold ' 91 of old Aggie College My song of praise shall ever, ever be ; For dear ' 91 of old Aggie College My song of praise shall ever, ever be. 102
