School Song and Hymn
School Song | College Hymn |
---|---|
It's good to see the School we knew, The land of youth and dream, To greet again the rule we knew, Before we took the stream; Though long we've missed the sight of her, Our hearts may not forget; We've lost the old delight of her, We keep her honour yet. The stars and sounding vanities, The men that tanned the hide of us, To speak of fame a venture is, We will honour yet the School we knew, |
Where river, lake and mountain meet, Our boyhood's home surrounding, A path behold for youthful feet, The path of life abounding; Still up it climbs by cliff and crag, The mount of truth ascending, Though oft thereon the pilgrim flag, It leads to life unending. Oh life is good, both here and now, That joyous Trump! and can it be, Then bravely brother, breast the path, Now unto Father, Spirit, Son, |
Sir Henry Newbolt | W. S. Senior |
