congenial breezes famed,
II mas SIOWH uIilll IL has DcSoHiS q
power in the land,
Our glorious Cadmus club.
Chorus-Glory, Glory, Hallelujah.
When we have met together, we've
served for our menu
The products of the greatest brains, the
sweetest music, too;
Our very souls were lifted up, our minds
in wisdom grew,
AS members of the Cadmus club.
So erudite we've grown since we organ
lied last fall,
We've criticised the work of many |
authors, great and small;
And feel secure in thinking we could |
surpass them ALL
We, the members of the Cadmus club. |
The future of the Cadmus club is an as
sured success,
twill grow to be q synonym for great |
ness, nothing Less.
And as promoters of great good the
world at large will bless
Us, the members of the Cadmus club.
Glory, FIallelujah.
