C. A."
Tell me not in mournful numbers,
The "Y" is but an empty dream
For each girl is dead that slumbers
Things are far from what they seem.
''Y" life is real, also earnest,
And Rehoboth's on the map,
Everyone is up and stirring
No one ever takes a nap.
In the wee small hours Of morning
In the stiffness of the night
Could you look within the portals,
Of the "Y" you'd see a sight.
Every room has been dismantled
By some little spirit gay,
Beds and blankets, sheets and pill
lows,
III in happy disarray;
Ghosts and goblins without number
Roam the corridors and halls,
creeping shadows thickly gather
IN each crevice, nook and wall
feasts and indoor rain !
storms ]
figures lying calm and still
IN each bed, while silent watchers
livery nook and corner fill
'ictures move and keys are hidden :
" those elves of joyous mien {
