Farewell, Brackenridge There sits our schoolhouse by the road, A ragged terrier sleeping; Imbedded in the tali green grass, Where feet have now ceased creeping. Within, the empty halls are seen Made dark in gloomy silence The polished floors, the spattered walls Where ink was hurled with violence. facing the sign, “Keep Off The Grass”. Is a w’orn path, betraying The feet that, creeping slow to school. Went storming out to playing! Three month ago, a summer sun Shone over it at setting, Lighting its windows, and against the sky The smoke-stack silhouetting. It touched the heads of boys and girls Whose eyes were full of grieving. As seniors they their steps delayed. When all the school were leaving. For near them stood the red brick walls Which Fate for them had singled; Where work and romance they had oft In youthful manner mingled. In plain reluctance to depart To right and left they lingered. Intently talking, w'hile their hands The fire-’scape doorknobs fingered. And then a maid spoke out for all When in a voice carressing She said thru timid trembling lips As if a fault confessing: Tm sorry that we have to leave. We hate to go above you; Because—you are our Bracken ridge, Because you see. we love you.” Know, Brackenridge, our own dear school, That we who pass above you All sadly miss our High School days, Like her,—because we love you. 1 8
