Excerpt from The Alumni Quarterlg, Vol. 4: Agricultural and Mechanical College of Taxes
Boys, brave-eyed boys, with tender hearts and hands;
Boys, straight and tall, who laughed and loved and sang;
Who cheered and went away to war-torn lands.
Whose brave smiles strove to hide the parting pang;
They went to fight for mothers of the world,
For children like the children whom they knew;
They marched away, and now wars flags are furled,
And now their stars are gold which once were blue.
They leaped into the air on pinions wide;
They marched through all of wars red hell and reek;
By night and day they combed the ocean wide,
They gave their strength to Freedom growing weak;
They died for us in lands remote and far;
They laughed and took the battle to the foe;
They gladly gave their lives in Freedoms war;
They went as far as human strength may go.
They went as far as human strength may go!
In Freedoms cause they might not be denied!
On every field they stopped the charging foe,
Waved on the flag they loved, and, waving, died!
For them we smile, but yet our tears will start -
What they fought for our hands and hearts shall hold!
Their stars are graven on the Nations heart;
Their stars which once were blue but now are gold. - Judd Mortimer Lewis.
