0112155 HIIPIII FARITXYICLI, TO NORTH O, MN. D. I thou whose rules I oft have spurned To notice, ere to wiser be I learned, I leave thee now with sad and heavy heart. And sigh at parting, for best of friends must part. And thou hast been my friend. a faithful friend, XYho ne'er forsook me, e'cn unto the end Of all my journey through the boundless realm Of theory, which unfortunates o'erwhelm. I gaze upon thy worn and faded walls. One spotless as the snow, and see thy halls, And think, while chiding pangs of conscience sting, Of how I oft have termed thee, horrid thingu! XYith teachers kind thy many rooms are blessed. XYho strive to teach and lead us to successg XYhose ever kind and guiding care suggests :X shepherd. who, with his trusy rod. The Het-cy Hocks which feed in pastures abroad. Guardeth from harm and guideth o'er the hills, Oft rugged, steep. and coursed by running rills. And thus thou art, for we are but as sheep, XYho o'er the hills and shadowy valleys deep Of learning toil. which we ever threaded find XYith silver streams of love divine. Our shepherds, whom thou knowest. without doubt Do know thee well. in truth within, without. And thou'rt indeed our staff, whose chastisement How oft we've sorely felt as on we went. For when we've strayed beyond the beaten track Thy rules have nc'er been spared to bring us back, But yet thou hast. forsooth, a kindly lookg For while we have obeyed. our paths forsook, Full gently hast thou guided o'er the way Vtihich leads at last to lands we view to-day. And now the height to which we did aspire Is gained, and thou canst lead us on no higher. In pensive mood. I gaze below afar. On frisking lambs which sporting are. In blissful ignorance. on the daisied meadg And as I gaze my heart is moved to plead: Be thou to them what thou to us hast been, A trusty guide, admonisher of sin. So, fare thee well, and here's a parting tear For thee, our faithful friend, old X. D. dear. -M. Esther Ifstep I6
