To Wesleyan Across the fourscore w inters that have fled An echo comes to us of voices dead, Thy first fair daughters who in memory still Live on, O IV esleyan, on thy ancient hill! Thy towers where the past is ling ring on Still breathe a fragrance of the years long gone; And as we view the scenes our hearts hold fast. The living, lasting glories of thy past , We honor each tradition that appears — O thou great Wesleyan of the yesteryears! The picture fades and vanishes away. We see, instead , thy beauties of today. Thy lawns and gardens decked with roses fair. The spirit of true friendship resting there; The duties we have answered, and the score Of pleasures we have known within thy door; Nor time, nor change, whatever change may be Can ever touch our loyalty to thee; ] Iore blest than in the years that passed away, O thou great Wesleyan of the present day! From out the vale of dreams we cannot see There comes a whisper of the years to be, A promise that thy future shall be far. Far greater than thy past and present are! A voice that says thy fame shall be unfurled And spread abroad through all the listening world. And from thy history of the long ago. And from our loyalty to days we know, Our dreams and longings ever turn to thee, Thou greater Wesleyan of the years to be! 21
