Excerpt from Our Alma Mater Cook Book
On that primal morn when the world was young
When the morning stars in their courses sung,
Fair was his face, like a god's in sooth,
Aglow with the color and life of youth.
He saw the first stars that emblazoned the skies;
Saw the radiant dawn of the first sunrise;
Saw primitive men with their primitive Eves
Drest in wild skins and bright-hued leaves.
He saw the dread deluge rise and rise
Till it hid the world from his horrified eyes;
He saw the purged world emerge from the flood,
The rainbow that sealed the promise of God.
He saw the earth quickly peopled again
With teeming cities, and towns, and men;
He saw their battles, contentions, and strife,
Their struggles for fame, and wealth, and life;
And his face grew stern as he saw men's ways,
And his sad eyes hardened to a petrified gaze.
