What sweeter sound with Life's alarum blends

Than the kind voice of Brothers and of Friends?


And so, to-day, we live our old lives o'er—

The Freshman gay, the smiling Sophomore,

The anxious Junior, and the Senior proud,

The care-immersed Alumnus, sober-browed;

To shake once more the quick-responding hand,

To trade in jokes no others understand;

Our fish-lines into Memory's ponds to throw
