THE ROMAN 21 OLIVE -KEITH WATSON THE BROKEN CHAIN CDedicated to Olive Keith Watsonj A golden chain of youths and maids, Toiling and working away, To win for themselves a treasured prize In June, the Commencement Day. Joyful and gleeful with hearts so pure, They strove in harmony sweet, And dreamed of the day-the wonderful day, When their hearts in song would meet. One houndred links in this chain of gold, One hundred youths and maids, A perfect chain that meant so much, But ah! The picture fades. And broken now is the chain of gold, One link most clean and pure, Is lost, our hearts are very sad, Gone! gone! is one maid so demure. A fair maid of radiance and sunshine, As sweet as the heart of a rose, She rests now 'neath the peaceful sod, In quiet and blissful repose. The chain now falters-'tis heavy now, No heart is full of song, The joy that once had burst into bloom, Was shattered by Death's cold gong, The chain now falters-'tis heavy now, No heart is full of song, The joy that once had burst into bloom, Was shattered by Death's cold gong. But we must not mourn nor weep the loss With courage anew we must climb, To carry the part of the missing link Representing us in heaven, sublime. -Elizabeth Wright, '29
