 Ode for the sem-centennial of the Yale class of 1845:
 Tune-Auld Lang Syne-Words by Mrs.
 I. L. Peet.
 Across the sea of vanished years,
 We come, dear friends, to meet, And wake the echoes of old songs,
 That seemed to us so sweet, When hearts with lofty hopes were
 thrilled,
 And all our souls alive, With young ambitions buoyant dreams. In days of forty-five, my boys, Tn days of forty-ve. In days of forty-five, my boys, Young days of forty-flve. The sea has brought us many ship
 WILL 0LOIS5 OL lISlSuG unEOlQ, Some brought us sorrow. some brought
 joy, And some were rich in gold, And honor ever held the prow: So faith and love survive, storm and calm our ship has
 sped, Since days of forty-f1ve. Since days of forty-five of my boys, Dear days of forty-fve. Since days of forty-f1ve, my boys, Dear days of forty-f1ve We miss from out our band Strong hearts, the true and tried; Some finger on tke border-land,
 And wait the slow ebb-tide; Some have sailed over to the shore At which all souls arrive, But still we hold them i'm our hearts, With days of forty-five, Sweet days of forty-five, dear boys, Bright days of forty-five. Sweet days of forty-five, my boys, Bright days of forty-five. Here let us rest; ambitions voice Gan lure our hearts no more Her Siren-song has lost it's charm, Our quest is almost o'er; We drift along the peaceful waves, Old memories revive, And bless the day that brought us here, This day of ninety-f1ve, Chis day of ninety-five, old boys, Blest day of ninety-five This day of nirety-five old boys, Blest day of ninety-f1ve.
