And mirthful Nature revels at the close of parting day ; With pompous robe the Sun sets o ' er the tree-tops far away But sad will sound, while we linger in thy peaceful bow ' r, The vesper bell that soon will toll the parting hour. So let us loiter, O awhile, beneath thy shadow Ere the winged parting hour prompts us away to go. The tranquil hour of rest, the hour of parting soon will come And starry Night, with soft and solemn voice, w ill prompt us home; But in the silent watches of the peaceful night Our souls will pierce the dark that hides thee from our sight; And the chill night wind will bear our wish sincere to Life ' s bliss- ful shore That thou, Taylor belov ' d, may grow and last forevermore. Distinct, as herald Dawn begins to tear Night ' s jewelled shroud, Will swiftly reach our ears the voice of Duty, stern and loud. That quickening call to nobler task — to higher worth May we, prepared, be swift to answer and go forth, Forth to bless the world ; and as our Lord forgot His own Untainted Self, so may we live not to ourselves alone. Taylor, although to thee we promise naught this parting time, May we express our love and gratitude in simple rime; Love, that amidst the long days of mutual toil was born, And gratitude profound that will not die at morn. Long may the Holy Spirit that dwelleth within thy bound abide In us our hearts to cheer, our souls to keep, our steps to guide. But lo! the evening shades are deepening fast on fields and trees; I feel the kiss, I hear the murmur, of the twilight breeze ; And hark! I hear the soft, sad sound of the vesper bell That tolls the parting hour. The world is dark — farewell ! Oh, may the Hand that guides the lone, belated wanderer With thee, on Love ' s and Truth ' s unerring way, abide fore ' er! — A. Q. Gonzalez.
