For tween its visions and the cup
A curtain one day falls.
And thus so school ourselves while here
That when the curtain falls so drear
That hides from US. hopes cup so bright
We yet may feel the yearboolz's thrall,
May hear its visions when they call
And rise to greet them, one and all
With loves last fond good night.
