iDlackstone College ong Fair summer wreathed and smiling Brings now vacation days, When her charms our hearts beguiling, We can sing her praise; But a felt sul.)duing strain Undertones each glad refrain, Sad, yet sweet, chords vibrate. Telling of the tender parting days. Chokus : College fair, beloved, good-bye. Brilliant star in studded sky; May thy rays still bless and brighten, As the passing years go by. Dear Saviour send a blessing With this our parting hour ; May we each go forth possessing Thy precious care and power. Oh ! bless those who blessed us here, With their toil and guiding care. Be Thou their reward and guardian Until they Thy glory share.— Cho. Beloved school, we leave thee; In groups diverged we go Home to mountains, plain, and margin Of ocean ' s ebb and How. But our homes from hill to sea. As entwining links that be In the golden chain that binds us Heart to heart and all to thee.— Cho. J. R. Sturgis. 16
