The o:rass shall grow and roses blow, And time assuage the grief we know, But eaeh returning year When Mareh comes round anew That spirit shall its visit keep Above eaeh grave to watch and weep And plant the banner there, The ilag of Gold and Blue. The grass shall fail, the rose shall fall. The ancient wind shall o ' er them call In Winters far away W hen we shall l)e forgot, lUi.t Alma Mater still shall go In spirit where her sons lie low. Till she herself decay And all that is is not. PAEAN. How the irorld has Inipt to tii ht Into daij fro7n out the night! How the world, redeemed anew, Sees at la.ft its dreams come true; Dreams of poets and of seers. Dreamed through immemorial years! How the Nations rise and sing Praises to Jehovah, King, Him Who rideth on the storm, Who upholdeth ivith. His arm! God of earth arid sky and sea. These our men we leave with, thee! 14 fc l m
