AfNI AND
Y v :: Society;

Are racing through her head
And OH her finger nimble
She fits the festive thimble,
4 rosy, blushing symbol
OF youth to conquer sped.
Back, all we weighty questions
And problems of the day
We have no time for you now.
No matter what you weigh!
Let business complications
And great affairs of State
Stand back; we're near commencement
ment
And other things can watt
Let armies vie with armies,
Let nations fall or rise,
But for these lesser matters
We have no ears, nor eyes;
We're deep in admiration
Of all this preparation
For early graduation
And incident surprise
Stand still. We whirling planets.
Your dizzy dance suppress.
We deem yourselves important,
But stand We, none the-less,
You're hardly worth mention
We riVet our attention
On each demure dimension
OF the graduating dress.
