Class Ode--1903. TUNE-"Lux: " " Benigna." Best friend, farewell,-we leave thy safe retreat, And turn us where The mighty sea of lifeis at our feet, Serene and fair. When we shall feelthe fury of the blast, Then may the children of thy care stand fast! Sweet were the hours of calm that we have known In port secure; But now, grown strong, we venture forth alone, And must endure. We welcome all that life can bring, but find A tear half shed, for what we leave behind. When others tread where we have trod of yore, And through thy halls Sweet echoes answer to our tones no more; Thy hallowed walls Shall be the shrine of memory.c-und we Shall find our youth forever fresh in thee. 97 - -
