The queen enthroned with attendants near,
The crowning event of the festive day,
The Morris dancers with horse so queer
Prance and turn. Then shepherd-hay
And the jesters skip and have their say.
Now clouds and flowers dance a bit
And as their lord, the Sun, obey
To Spring's blithe song they lightly trip.
O Alma Mater, this happy lay
Accept we pray, if it seems fit.
Smile on your children in their play;
To Spring's blithe song they lightly trip.
