A SONG-CALENDAR
BY A. L. C.
| “When blood of autumn Runs warm and red In all the branches Over head— Sing clear bright sunshine, And tender haze, Sing glad beginning Of College Days! |
| “When pines and spruces Are bowed with snow, When ponds are frozen And keen winds blow— Sing cozy corners Or jingling sleighs, Sing work or frolic Of College Days! |
| “When comes sweet April, With soft slow rain, And earth has broken Her frozen chain— Sing low shy birdnotes, And woodland ways, Sing mirth and music Of College Days! |
| “When June days linger, And warm winds blow O’er fields of daisies Adrift like snow— Sing sad leave-takings And tender praise Of all the mem’ries Of College Days!”
—Vassarion, ’95. |
