Dear Maine, for these long, joyous years
We've toiled and played beneath your

Our hearts and souls have learned to love
Your ancientS halls and shady realms.
We came here blind to higher thoughts,
Our hearts and minds devoid of sight,
But you, oh, Maine, with gentle hands
Have brought US to nobler light.
So swiftly now the years roll by
From Winters snow to summers sky,
We soon will be among the lads
Who've come and gone good, loyal grads.
