Bright college years with pleasure rife,

The shortest, gladdest years of life;

How swiftly are ye gliding by!

Oh, why does time so quickly fly!

The seasons come, the seasons go,

The earth is green or white with snow,

But time and change shall naught avail

To break the friendships formed at Yale.

In afteryears, should troubles rise

To cloud the blue of sunny skies,

How bright will seem through mem’ry’s haze,

Those happy, golden, by-gone days!

Oh, let us strive that ever we

May let these words out watchcry be,

Where’er upon life’s seas we sail:

“For God, for Country, and for Yale!”
