The sky above was dark, its dome

Had closed the windows Of the sphere.
But In the home, the Louise Home
Each window shone SO bright,
Az II the angels swift had come
To kindle there each light
Shining like stars before me there,
Faith, hope and love, the angels near.
The mansion stood. the refuge dear,
Before me on the street,
Radiant as day, though could hear
No sound or voice to greet
Like some bright vestibule Of heaven,
A pause before the songs were given.
And as gazed, thought OF him,
The founder, brave and true,
The benefaction 80 sublime,

Where sad and weary ones might dnd

Now come to view the realm Of truth.
The college grand, the home 70 dear

And one where ends the strife

To light the battle wen;
One FOR the old, from cold and rain
Sweet home where they may dwell
