Farewell Song

We join to sing a part­ing song

On this our part­ing day;

Not thought­less words and mer­ry eyes

Shall mark our roun­de­lay.

We part to­day—sad thought to all—

To meet

we know not when;

Perhaps un­til the Mas­ter’s call

We may not meet again.

But not sad heart­ed will we go

Where du­ties’ ban­ners fly;

We’ll brave­ly meet our ev­ery foe

And at our post we’ll die.

Schoolmates

fare­well

to­day must end

Our min­gled joy­ous life;

Our hap­pi­ness and joy must blend

With toil and bat­tle strife.

Farewell to all

may me­mo­ry blend

Our hearts in fond em­brace;

Till

in our home in Heav’n we find

Our fi­nal rest­ing place.
