“Down South the sun the rose doth cheer; Out West blue skies ever appear; Away always romance is near: — You’ll fly from school, my students dear.” So lied to us a senseless seer;— We’d close his babbling mouth I fear, (And, pray, who’d ever think us queer,) For we would rather stay right here. ’Cause here for us gay flowers grow, And the gentlest zephyrs blow, And the clearest waters flow; Ah! here the skies their beauty show; From here we’d never never go, ’Cause here we seldom drink of woe, ’Cause here we love each other so; Oh! here a world of joy we know. A thousand joys from us will hie! No seer’s sly words us fortify, No smiling looks us pacify, When we to school must say good-bye: Perhaps our school, too, wants us nigh— This thought alone can gratify When we must off to the open sky, When we must briskly bid good-bye. —William H. Minarik ’36
