id a The 193 2 Bohemian S S S]S S S]S Senior Qldss oem By Carl Henry May This is the end, dear friends, of our college stay, But the beginning of the divergent paths of our destined day. We knoiv the land of faith, and hold its honor high. And through the years may ive never sit and sigh, But breathe the violet fragrance of a deeper hope. There is something for each of us surely soinewhere. Something the soul needs infinitely there. So press on through the dark, the gloom, and rain. Life holds a balm for each ravishing pain; It gives us luarmth, and flame and beauty — dear and brief! It gives us peace and good cheer, joy and grief. With faith and dauntless courage for a u ' ill. To make the icastes of failure to grow a stem of success; A tuft of fragrance and color, a floiuering soon to fade, Learning by labor to honor the gardens men have made. Some have a harsher soil, and are shamed by its ragged blossom. But our nearest neighbor, God, sees the hopes, and dreams, and tears; Thus let us iveave the trust of childhood ivith the faith of years. And hope ivith courage that ha conquered fears; And may God ' s finger guide the golden threads That trace the samite pattern in Life ' s tapestry. — 1
