Our Orange Tree DR. HYDK In flushing energy of primal dawn. •When strange rich growths were bursting into sight. The orange broke the turf of Eden's lawn With verdure, flower and fruit in morning light. Thence moved by wisdom human and divine It went to far off lands to thrive and shine. In that far Orient realm, as ages rolled. Sprung from the working of man's better mind. Calling in goodly home to win and hold Song, reason, numbers, solence. clear defined. Thenoe westward with the Aryan stream it moved. Persia. Qreeoe, Rome, all lands its value proved. Here is the far-come school, our Orange-tree! Whero reason, numbers, song and science blend Its verdure flower and golden fruit we seo Spring. Summer, Autumn, all tholr glory lend Here in its fragrance, beauty, wealth and Joy The world's best oalling shall our hearts employ. Plant of the Heart! Orange-tree of the Mind! To gather and bestow goods pure and choice— Science and reason, numbers, song designed— And give life's silent doctrine clearest voice. Union of things invisible, unroll And for its work Inspire the generous soul. Happy is he who with a loyal heart Shall aid the welfare of this Orange-tree. With honor, means or service shall Impart New cheer of growth with lively sympathy! In verdure, flower or fruit shall be his share. Its fragrant gladness long his praise declare. Rooted now fifty years strong in the strength By many a streamlet, many a sunbeam given In its rich dome-like soil secure at length To thrive for long as it for long has thriven. Who to our Orange-tree his eye shall raise Shall with his look lift up his voice in praise! Twenty-Two
