And many a one lies withered on the sod;
The falrest flowers that ever on flowers trod.

Some gorgeous clouds the day and night are link
But darkness comes, that rude unwelcome guest
Goodhy! Goodby, Yet is there ore star shining.
Which from the black-hung heavens sends its

For nighttime ends with Vassar's opening day!
