A Toast. Oh, here ' s to Carolina in the pleasant day of fall, When the crimson leaves are glowing on the trees ; When we only talk and dream and root and play foot-ball, And teach a little lesson to the F. F. V. ' s Thanksgiving Day with joyous hearts we pledge our faith anew And drink a brimming bumper to the White and Blue. Oh, here ' s to Carolina in the frosty winter time. When there ' s precious little doing Init grind, grind, grind ; When Battle Park ' s deserted and i ur very bottom dime Pays for hannless little oyster-feasts, or ' possum — go it blind ! Oh then we cheer our spirits with a rousing yell or two. And drink a brimming bumper to the White and Blue. Oh, here ' s to Carolina when the verdant spring has come, And the verdant Freshman ' s fancies turn to Love ' s young dream ; When our good old base-ball nine begins to make things hum, And exams, are not exactly what they seem : Why then, when sky and woodland put on so gay a hue, We needs must drink a bumper to the White and Blue. Oh, here ' s t i Camlina in the mystic nights of June, When the campus is ,i bit of fairyland. When every man ' s an orator beneath the silver moon, And the medals and dijdouias and the rags just beat the baud. Then, with saddened hearts at parting from our alma mater true. We drink a brimming luimjier to the White and Blue. Oh, here ' s to Camlina thniughnut the rnlling year, Whatever seasons cdnie and go this loyal toast we raise; And when at last far sundered from the halls we held so dear We ' ll liless the memnry (if nur ha]ipy enllcge days; And then nnr hearts will kindle at tlie tliought of N ' . C. U. And we ' ll drink a brinnuing Imnipei- to the White and Blue. M. H.
