THE GRADUATE'S FAREWELL A strange and weary feeling presses on my soul today Though everything around is lovely, is wondrous bright and gay, I feel because 'tis moving, the dream is so fair Its hues of radiance so costly, its happy light so rare. Ah, yes! my Home, many years have flown, and now I say Adieu To all the hallowed ties, that bound my daily life to you, For Hall and Classroom seem to say, in softer tones than mild, Go forth alone, the time has come, thou are no more a child. When future years will come and their weight of woe theyill bring How often will our tired souls come back on memory's wing, And linger in the pleasant room, guarded by the convent walls, And there we'll cast our troubles, that to us are iron balls. But now to all these hallowed spots, the shadow darker grows And o'er my saddened spirit its gloomy light it throws But oh! dear Alma Mater, teach us as we say Farewell, To guard the priceless stories that only you could tell. Devoted teachers, we must leave you, and though the coming years, May seem to be all gladful and never marred with fears, We know there is no rarer light, not one as pure and sweet, As the light our young hearts tasted as we gathered at your feet. Companions, friends, you too, we leave no more with you to roam, As light-hearted youthful, schoolgirls, through the halls of our Convent homeg We leave the one horizon of a careless and eager glee, A ' To anchor our timid, trembling bark upon life's troubled sea. Once again, dear Alma Mater, dear hall each favorite spot Companions loved, and teachers kind, that ne'er will be forgot, Once more with our affection, deeper than words can tell, We breathe from our grateful yet swelling hearts, A LOVING SAD FAREWELL!
