The soldier loves his generals fame,
The willow loves the stream;
The child will loye his mothers name,
The dreamer loves his dream.
The sailor loves his haven pier,
The shadow loves the dell;
The student holds no name so dear,
AS the good name Cornell.
Well honor thee Cornell,
Wei! honor thee Cornell;
While hreezes blow and waters flow,
Wen honor thee Cornell.
TIE soldier with sword of might,
In blood may write his fame;
The prince in marble columns white,
May deeply carve his name.
But craven on each students heart,
There shall unsullied dwell;
While Of this world they are 2 part,
The. own good name-Cornell.
