Ieville Shainwald. The words are:
barnard: Where we raise our g chorus
Hear US and re-echo for US
This our farewell song.
Where the river. onward sweeping,
Holds the sunset in its keeping,
Where the ancient hills are sleeping,
Let the sound proong!
vaken. hillside, waken,
through many days and many ways!
Halls We have forsaken-
One again. all hail and greeting!
And at parting. as at meeting meeting
Barnard, Eineteen-three.
barnard With its hopes s around 9G6a thee bse
in its heart of hearts hath crowned thee
Crowned thee in its heart
Seasons four Of sun and shower
Bring a time OF leaf and flower,
When pause and part
Part but farewell never,
Nineteen-three must sever
In name and fame-but in spirit the same
We cling like this ivy-foreVer'
Alma Mater great and glorious!
Still shall memory live victorious
Barnard Strong in thee!
