THE COLLEGE BEAUTIFUL.

i.

BLUE are the skies, but for flake and feather
Of floating cloudlet as white as wool ;
Blue they bend in the winsome weather
Over the College Beautiful.

ii.

Fair she stands in her fresh apparel
Of scented blossoms and silken leaves
That June, to the tune of the robin's carol,
From the golden threads of the sunshine weaves.

iii.

Dance the daisies a blithe cotillion;
The oriole, flaunting his orange coat,
Trills and trolls in a green pavilion
Lays of love from a mellow throat.
