Farewell to the Old Building A song of parting and of love I have to tell, A song of many years of ceaseless strife, A song of purpose true of him we know so well, A song of bursting bonds for broader life. f Oh! reverend, aged house of white, Blessed by true friends, through pass of time, That for long years has been the site W'here gathered youths from every clime g Where friends first met to last for life, Vlfhere minds were taught by Word and pen, And by the force of honor rife Mere boys were shown how to be men, For shelter now thy days are o'er, ' At last the shell must broken be And from the nest the bird must soar To reach a higher, better tree. Thy work has not been done in vain, From you things greater shall arise, And ever shalt the new remain But for thy honor 'neath the skies. And now thy task is done-thy day of service o'er. Our love, thy merit, words could never tell, But in this parting-time, now from our hearts we pour Our thanks and praise in just a sad Fare-Well.
