TO WEAVER The craggy shores of learning now are gone. Fast fading from our sight, beyond the hill Of childhood gaiety. Our hearts now fill With cou rage, for we face a grimmer dawn. Oh halls of sweetest knowledge, ne’er defiled By constant strife for tyranny and power, Rise up and smite with wrath the perilous tower Of ignorance, now sadly so high piled! For what you ' ve done for us we will remain E’er grateful, in our everlasting fight Gainst Dictators and Ruthlessness and Might, Till glorious heights of fame we do attain. Then only, Weaver, will you be repaid. When all these blights are gone and are decayed. [ 4 ]
