%$ w Slma jflater c salute thee. Alma Mater, we salute thee with a song, At thy feet our loyal hearts their tribute lay; We had waited for thy coming, in the darkness waited long. Ere the morning star proclaimed thy natal day. Thou hast come through tribulations, and thy robe is clean and white; Thou art fairer than the summer in its bloom. Thou art born unto a kingdom, and thy crown is all of light ; Thou shalt smile away the shadow and the gloom. In thy path the fields shall blossom and the desert shall rejoice, In the wilderness a living fountain spring; For the blind shall see thy beauty anil the deaf shall hear thy voice, And the silent tongues their high hosannas sing. Where the rhododendron blushes on the burly mountain ' s breast, In the midland where the wild deer love to roam; Where the water lily slumbers while the cypress guards its rest — Is the sunny land of promise anil thy home. Where the sons of Carolina taught a nation to be free, And the daughters taught their brothers to be brave; O ' er a land of peaceful plenty, from the highlands to the sea, May thy banner. Al ma Mater, ever wave. R. T. Vann 16
