CLASS ODE. I.
Oh, sweet 'twould be to linger here, And never more part, Before the gloom of sorrow clouds The sunshine of the heart. Here Nature's magic beauty falls O'er harbor, vale, and hill, The flowers bloom, the wild birds call, Their music haunts us still.
II.
But days will come, alas, too soon, When we no more shall be United in a loving band By Life's uncertain sea. Each one must launch upon the wave Ilis bark for weal or woe; Must watch the stars, must guide the ship, Whatever tempests blow.
III.
But let us hope that in the port Where storms shall be no more, Where all things bright and all things fair Adorn the sunlight shore ; That in that haven wonderful, The harbor fair of Heaven, Each bark of thine shall anchor cast Forever, Ninety-Seven.
