ETPOSPEClfe y;iPfl The Old Building Four walls of brich. Some lime and cement, Reading, ' riling, and ' rilhmelic. Might have been your full extent. But oh! how untrue. How much is there Untold in praising you For glories that you bear. A beauteous structure by your side But though however near it. One feels the self-same glowing pride, In your eternal spirit. Built not for ages that are Ifnown, Built not to live and die; The seeds of l nowledge you have sown Spread far beyond the finite eye. Slumbering souls have been awakened. Youth ' s pathway cleared of pit falls. Ambition roused, vain hopes forsal(ened. All within your reverend walls. Old building, as you rise Bearing all of age ' s trace, I love to encircle you with my eyes In one long and lasting embrace. Though your walls may cracl( and crumble They shall always be upright; Even though they lalfe a tumble They ' ll ever stand in Memory ' s sight. ---Anice Doak.
