In each home glows the hearth-fire, so bright with the charm Of its flickering shadow and flame, Framing al picture no artist could paint, ' V A-picture.-that no one could name. . To the woman lwho jsits in the firelight's glow It bringsvthoughts of the days that are gone, Thoughts of the sorrows, 'the work, and the joys, In the years that forever have Hown. Now before her is 'standing in outlines distinct All the halls 'that she loved 'long ago. Halls that are teemingxwith memories sweet Of. her days as a student at Coe. 4 There is Main with its classrooms 'and oH'ices old, And the Library crowning them all. Many an hour with her note-book and pad Did she spend in that well known hall. In the distance is Science, -she laughs at the thought Of explosions of test-tubes and gas, Things that she knew, and the things she did not, In that notable Chemistry class. Now again in her ears peals the organ's deep tones, With their cadences stirring and sweet. The gavel is sounding exhorting to silence As the groups in the vestibule meet. ,.' l A shout greets her ears as in mem'ry she turns To the Gym that she once loved so well. Year after year she had taken her stand In the games between Coe and Cornell. As these scenes pass before her in clearest array, i All the buildings and sacred old places She sees in her mind as in pictures of flame, Many names andfamiliar loved faces. It is all recollection of times that- have been, But the spirit will never grow cold, Guiding thelives of the ones' who have come From the College of Crimson and Gold. So may we as we go in our separate ways, Bear the colors that fondly we love. Red' be our courage, that nothing can daunt, ' 'And the Gold be our faith from above.
