CLASS POEM Dear old class rooms, silent now to me, Mirrored forever in the haze of memory, Dim and faint the shadows will float Like snowflakes o’er the sea: Schoolrooms, adieu. Along life’s pathway, strewn with thorns Silent voices still will ever guide us, Clear and bright will be the lessons taught us, Like the beacon light of morn: Teachers farewell! Fond boys and girls, from whom we are departing Pictured forever in the mirror of our lives, Around you ever, old rose and silver clinging Like a vision in a dream: Schoolmates, goodbye!
