i"Our years at Spring; the cool woods
ring
With music clear and sweet
The golden sun, with tender ray,
The timid flowers doth greet;
The sky is deepest blue,
And balmy brcezes blow.
Up through the glade, meath sylvan
shade,
Life'S winsomc path leads on.
Then we'll haste on with happy song
Der yondcr slopes fair brow.
Where mystery, hope, and joys unknown
Are reckoning to us now.
Through meadows green where daisies
CLEAN,
Brooks run in messy bed
Our step grows eager, sure, and swift
The highway lies ahead.
The highway lies ahead
Sharp rocks may bar the way,
And storms may dull the day;
But we'll keep on with spirit strong.
, Tho minglc JOY and grief,
We've learned that life through pain an,
strife
May fuller. richer grow.
We strive for life, full. blessed life,
SO we must onward go.
"And when we reach the great highway.
y life full, broad, and strong
= | With vision true, we'll strive to do
The Right and conquer Wrong,
Well fight to conquer Wrong.
Then cOmradeship we'll know,
The joy of Service, too;
Well feel the bond of brotherhood
