The Young Graduate What visions throng our cobwebbed brains, and how our hearts dilate, And how our minds light as we think of the young graduate! What fleecy dreams of angel white, what ribbons and what flowers Are dreamed {not by us men, of course) as we think what once was ours! For we ' ve been through it all, and know how rapturous it seems To grapple with life ' s problems close, and settle them — in dreams! Her hopes are high, the world is wide, and castles easy built. And knights are waiting but the word, all ready for the tilt, And so she builds her castle walls so marvelously high That she has to take the towers off to let the moon go by! But when the danger ' s over, wiser far than worldly men. She takes a saucy look around, and swings them up again! Don ' t mind our smiling at your dreams; a smile is not a sneer, And often when we seem to smile, it ' s just to hide a tear. For years ago we builded, too, our castles in the air. To witness now against us, for their walls are gaunt and bare! The world needs castles in the air, fair young graduate! It has too much cement and stone; it ' s tired of lead and slate. It wants your morning dreams of hope, like dawns on dewy flowers. It likes your castles as they are, — pray don ' t leave out the towers! Keep their white magic in the sky; you ' ll find that very soon Their wondrous charm will even change the orbit of the moo?i! Be sun and system swept aside; let the red gleam of Mars Fade from the sky until your towers are crowned by circling stars! Then welcome, airy architect of future home and state. The nation ' s hope, — but best of all, just the young graduate! James E. McDade. Class of ' 91.
