bome c- J Vet in ul When o ' er the western slopes the Jay-star ' s fading light Bedecks the heavenly span in spectral grandeur bright, There stands within our view, reflected in the west, The pigeoned towers of Normal! The dorinered eaves of Normal! The storied lights of Normal, where Learning ' s banners rest. Dark shades the vision clouds; destruction blinds our eyes; All ' round our sacred place, a fiendish sacrifice. The work of years, where Art and Wisdom blessed us all. Sinks with the ' spires of Normal! The crumbling walls of Normal! Our icy cloistered Normal, in one vast funeral pall. But on the placid face of Chain plain ' s sapphire bay Taint gleams of struggling light announce another day! They gleam! The vision grows! It fills the blinded eye, The risen domes of Normal! The burnished domes of Normal! The living domes of Normal, against the western sky. Then ban the black despair that threats to break the heart When proud-apparelled works of hand and mind depart; New courage take and on! You ' ll build again more vast, As were the domes of Normal! The sturdy domes of Normal! The rock-ribbed domes of Normal rebuilded from the Blast. Paul H. Hart.man. Music by Lyndon R. Street.
