W 9 3 4 A N II 1930 N U A I- 1 if 3 C SON : MOTHER 2 SON : MOTHER: SON 2 CLASS POEM 1930 MARGUERITE CL1sH MOTHER-Personijication of the Hig SON-Representing the class of 1930 I tell thee, mother, I must go. Believe I bear for thee so great A love I could not dream of. Yet I harbor in my breast a llame Not even thou canst quench! My son ! I loved thee, still I bear thee love - Strong bonds bind thee to me, strong, Yet fragile as a spider's web. I seek to keep your youth away From searching fingers of the world. To cherish you forever in my bosom. 'Tis true, my mother. But thy son shall yet destroy h School The comines which thou hast builded 5 My eyes are fixed and guided by The stars. I wander ever forward, And, cruel, leave thee lonely here. Son, beloved son, Must thou go ever from my heart, And leave me here to perish? I am driven by a force Which, cruel, tears me from thee. Beg me not to stay, best, staying, I should die But do not grieve, my mother, The walls that thou hast builded, With the truth to guide thy fingers, Shall not perish, though I journey Far and far away. - See, a star Falls jagged through the sky! - 'tis that Which I must follow - MUST follow, Though it lead beyond the mountains, And beyond the power of way. 25
