The old worn world of hurry and heat,

The young, fresh world of thought and scope;

While you, where silent surges fleet

Tow’rd far sky-beaches still and sweet,

Sunk wavering down the ocean-slope;

Come back our ancient walks to tread,

Old haunts of lost or scattered friends,

Amid the Muses’ factories red,

Where song, and smoke, and laughter sped

The nights to proctor-haunted ends.
