You'll marvel at the 'Prophecies' This 'Wonder book' relates, And dwell upon the destined lot, Of these, your youthful mates For some must be of high repute, Still more of less degree Nhile many plod a simple way Just 'folks' like you and me! A few You'll pause a moment When you turn the pages back, To gaze on those whose likeness Should be 'kem'ry etched in black' Whose names once graced the roster, Ere the summons came to 'pass' But still vithin your Class Book They are 'Lembers of the ClassX' An oasis in Fancy, this, And green throughout the years Where one may rest a pensive hour Amidst the smiles and tears-- Ah, Friend! There's rich reflection That you shouldn't overlook, In between the faded covers. . . Of your Old Class Book!
