In the twilight of the early spring come campus sings.
And the luring melody of Varsity Band
Both old and young to the fresh lawn brings;
While strolling couples fill the avenue,
And along its green vault music wings.

In balmy days of May the caps and gowns appear,
Which lend the walk scholastic dignity.
Then comes to a close the college year,
And that last long line moves down your shadowed length,
O, Burrill Avenue so dear.
