The Seniors ' Farewell By C. B. Dunn. Farewell, owr Alma Jlater, we ' 11 not forget thy halls ; A thousand memories bind our hearts to tliee. Departed days are with iis when from thy eehoiug walls Their voices speak adowu the years to be. And now our steps turn outward while speed the coming days ; Exalted hope springs high for future years, And lips atune to music shall bear aln-oad thy praise, As once they bore the college songs and cheers. The halo of thy glory broods o ' er this sacred spot Whose brilliancy has lit the western world; And multitudes have loved thee and will forget thee not With banners high advanced and e ' er unfurled. Each year thy tides sweep higher from out thy depths of ' truth ; ' Each year thy benediction blesses men ; Each year thy hand grows stronger to guide aright our youth Whose love shall be returned to thee again. Save us, senior circle, whose parting time has come When hands shall clasp and eye gaze into eye With farewell thoughts of sadness to which our lips are dumb, While spirit breathes to .spirit with a sigh. God knows the mighty struggle that made us faster friends. And knows the ceaseless virgils tliat we kept As onward still and upward we sought life ' s higher ends, While les.ser .spirits took their ease and slept. Though mountains high and valleys and seas divide us far And swift and silent years shall drift between. Yet memory sweet and sacred shall lie the undimmed star That ne ' er shall set on friendsliip, but show its tendrils; green. We part for time and distance, to meet when looks are gray. Or not, perhaps, till on the golden strand Toward which our footsteps hasten thi-ough glad or toil- .sonie day, AVhere ties of old affection shall bind our senior band. When autumn .suns are golden and pulses highl.y thrill The scattei-ed hosts will rally at thy call ; Each soul will be rekindled ; the college on the hill Will welcome them to corridor and hall, — Farewell, then. Alma Mater, a last farewell, we cry; Farewell, senior circle, through the years; Farewell, our faculty, and all, while time shall fly; God guide us through a lifetime ' s joy and tears. fourteen
