Excerpt from Oak Leaves, 1934We salute thee, Alma Mater, we salute thee with a song, At thy feet our loyal hearts their tribute lay, We had waited for thy coming, in the darkness waited long, Ere the morning star proclaimed thy natal day.Thou hast come through tribulation, and thy robe is clean and white! Thou art fairer than the summer in its bloom.Thou art born unto a kingdom, and thy crown is all of light, Thou shalt smile away the shadow and the gloom.In thy paths the fields shall blossom, and the desert shall rejoice. In the wilderness a living fountain spring, For the blind shall see thy beauty, and the deaf shall hear thy voice, And the silent tongues their high hosannas sing.Where the rhododendron blushes on the burly mountain's breast. In the midland where the wild deer love to roam, Where the water-lily slumbers, while the cypress guards its rest, Lo.' Thy sunny land of promise and thy home.Where the sons of Carolina taught a nation to be free, And her daughters taught their brothers to be brave!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
