In the world's broad field ofba.ttle,
In the bivouac of Life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife l
'!run no Future, howe'er ~leasant I
Let the dead Past bury 1ta de:1d l
Act,-act in the living Present l
Heart within, and Gotl o'erhead!
Lives of great men all remind ue
We can ma.ke our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind ua
Footprints in the sands of tiwe;
FootP.rin~ that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
Some forlorn and ahlpwreck'd brothel',
Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let ua, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for auy fate ;
Still achieving, still pu.l'8uing,
LeJU'n to labour and to wait. LoNGFELLOW.~spirllti.ans l1f j1111f~.
BloRER, higher will we climb
ur the mount of Glory ;
Tha our namt.>s m:~.y live through time
In our country's story ;
Happy, when her welfare calla,
He who conquers, he who falls.
Deeper, deeper let us toil
In the mines of knowleJge ;
Nature's wealth and learning's spoil,
Win from aohool and college ;
Delve we there for richer gema
Than the stan of diadems.
Ouward, onward will we preea
Through the path of duty;
Virtue is true happineea,
Excellence true beaut}".
Minds are of supernal buth,
MAke we then a. heaven of earth.
