T0 The Saint Luke's School Spirit I. There's a murmur in the treetops Like an elf note faint and low, There's a roaring in the branches Like a mighty torrent's flow. 'Tis the Spirit of the Forest, With the zephyr in its breath, Ur the dreaded, fierce tornado Bringing ruin, wreck and death. 'Mid the burning heat of summer Or the winter's icy blast, Lo! the Spirit of the Forest, Life and death within its grasp Il. There's a lapsing low and tender Through the golden afternoon, There's a gleam upon the waters 'Neath the silvery crescent moon, 'Tis the Spirit of the Ocean, With a n1ern1aid's smiling face, Now a giant god in anger Holding death in his embrace, Flooding, ebbing through the ages, Strong as hatred, deep as love, Lol the Spirit of the Ocean, Changeless as the stars above! DEDICATION ' ODE I 3 III. There's a glory truly royal When the evening sun sinks low, There's a grandeur more than earthly On the summits crowned with snow. 'Tis the Spirit of the Mountains, Robed in royal purple dyes, With its rugged finger beckoning Ever upward to the skies. Heart of summer, soul of winter, Knowing neither age nor youth. Lo! the Spirit of the Mountains Young as valor, old as truth! IV. There's a spirit high and noble, Animating ev'ry youth, There's a courage true and fearless, Scorning falsehood, loving truth. 'Tis the well-known St. Luke's Spirit Dwelling in each manly breast, Ever watchful, brave and earnest, Leaving unto God the rest. Boys to-day are men to-morrow, Ceaseless flow the sands of time, Lo! the loyal St. Luke's Spirit, Lives and thrives a thing snhlimc. XX C
