c Che Cupola i ALMA MATER Our Alma Mater glorious, With loving hearts and proud. We crown thee all victorious And sing thy praise aloud. In loyalty we serve thee, And strive to heed thy call, Mount Vernon, O Mount Vernon! Through self to conquer all. You give unfailing kindness II trouble meets us here; You foster all our pleasures And make them seem more dear. Nor time, nor care, nor sorrow Can these fair days erase. But they, with each tomorrow, Help us new tasks to face. Like Breath of Spring’s fresh morning That lifts the heart to song. When courage droops and wavers And paths seem gray and long, Will come thy dauntless spirit To help us on our way. Mount Vernon, O Mount Vernon! Hold fast thy tender sway. The changing years may bring us Some longed-for dream of bliss, Yet memory will cherish A sympathy we miss. In hours of joy and sadness, Whafer our need may be. Mount Vernon, O Mount Vernon! Thy children turn to thee. [ 14 ]
