st. Mary's! wherever thy daughters
may be.
They love thy high praises to sing.
And tell of thy beauties of campus and
Around which sweet memories cling
They may wander afar, out of reach
of thy name;
Afar, out of sight of thy grove.
But the thought of st. Mary's aye
kindles a flame
OF sweet recollections and love-
Beloved ST. Marys! how great is our
debt!
Thou hast cared for thy daughters
full we'll;
They can never thy happy instructions
forget,
Nor fail of thy virtues to tell.
The love that they feel is heritage
pure:
An experience wholesome and sweet
Through fast rolling years it will grow
and endure;
Be lamp and guide to their feet
May the future unite all the good of
thy past
With the best that new knowledge
can bring.
Ever onward and upward thy course!
o the last
Be thou steadfast in every good
thing.
Generations to come may thy fair
daughters still
Fondly thinkeon tiny halls and thy
grove
And carry thy teachings-o'er wood
land and hill
OF earnestness. wisdom. and love.
