Again the banner floats as then it flew;

Whilst now the clamorous war-pipes shrilly sound,

And now the Fiery Cross gleams like a meteor round.

The Summer Sun’s effulgent hue

Gilds Scotia’s skies of bluest blue;

Autumn’s at hand, but a brisk breeze,

Born of conflicting policies,

Blows o’er the land, and leisure coy,

And sport’s supreme soul-stirring joy,

Are not for Members sorely prest,
