Now we invoke tho classic Muse
She's really oil the style
We crave upon our festive scene
Calliope's fair smile;
And so We bring our idlo rhyme,
Our wealth Of careless song,
For even TO our lightest words
May truest thoughts belong.
While for our gentle, trusted friend
Times onward tide doth roll,
May nothing but her own pure thoughts
Dwell In her Tranquil soul;
Her cup Of life, may II o'erhow
With all that's good and sweet,
And in her journey through the world,
No sorrow may she meet
Far better than all outward things,
Is the gentle, patient heart;
And better Is the pure, high soul,

We give II with our best regards,
And they are true and warm.
