As a symbol of thwarted ambition Planning more than the purse can afford, It stands there, a queer looking structure, With a front part of brick and part board. Its springtime has long since departed, Its summertime also has gone g Yet it clings to our heart's best affection, For memories will linger on. It was known as the home of the Sisters For many and many a day Before it became the rectory For the church just over the way. And since to Our Lord's consecrated The poor and disconsolate go, Here oft the world-weary found solace That Heaven alone can bestow. Since then the old house has known changes: Merry typewriters clicked and then fledg The club spirit came and then vanished With various schemes that are dead. Yet, braving the wild storms of winter And the March wind's gusty squalls, It still shelters cherished memories Within those time-worn walls. -T. Murray bioiiliuioioioiclicviclixbiilinioic
