Hence a while severer Muses	A
Spare your slaves till drear October	B
Hence for Alma Mater chooses	A
Not to be for ever sober	B
But like stately matron gray	C
Calling child and grandchild round her	B
Will for them at least be gay	C
Share for once their holiday	C
And knowing she will sleep the sounder	B
Cheerier hearted on the morrow	D
Rise to grapple care and sorrow	D
Grandly leads the dance adown and joins the children's play	C
So go for in your places	A
Already as you see	E
Her tears for some deep sorrow scarcely dried	F
Venus holds court among her sinless graces	G
With many a nymph from many a park and lea	E
She pensive waits the merrier faces	A
Of those your wittier sisters three	E
O'er jest and dance and song who still preside	F
To cheer her in this merry mournful tide	F
And bids us as she smiles or sighs	H
Tune our fancies by her eyes	H
	-
Then let the young be glad	I
Fair girl and gallant lad	I
And sun themselves to day	C
By lawn and garden gay	C
'Tis play befits the noon	J
Of rosy girdled June	J
Who dare frown if heaven shall smile	K
Blest who can forget a while	K
The world before them and above	L
The light of universal love	L
Go then let the young be gay	C
From their heart as from their dress	M
Let darkness and let mourning pass away	C
While we the staid and worn look on and bless	M
	-
Health to courage firm and high	N
Health to Granta's chivalry	E
Wisely finding day by day	C
Play in toil and toil in play	C
Granta greets them gliding down	O
On by park and spire and town	O
Humming mills and golden meadows	P
Barred with elm and poplar shadows	P
Giant groves and learned halls	Q
Holy fanes and pictured walls	Q
Yet she bides not here around	R
Lies the Muses' sacred ground	R
Most she lingers where below	D
Gliding wherries come and go	D
Stalwart footsteps shake the shores	S
Rolls the pulse of stalwart oars	S
Rings aloft the exultant cry	N
For the bloodless victory	E
There she greets the sports which breed	T
Valiant lads for England's need	T
Wisely finding day by day	C
Play in toil and toil in play	C
Health to courage firm and high	N
Health to Granta's chivalry	E
	-
Yet stay a while severer Muses stay	C
For you too have your rightful parts to day	C
Known long to you and known through you to fame	U
Are Chatsworth's halls and Cavendish's name	U
You too then Alma Mater calls to greet	V
A worthy patron for your ancient seat	V
And bid her sons from him example take	W
Of learning purely sought for learning's sake	W
Of worth unboastful power in duty spent	X
And see fulfilled in him her high intent	X
	-
Come Euterpe wake thy choir	B
Fit thy notes to our desire	B
Long may he sit the chiefest here	Y
Meet us and greet us year by year	Z
Long inherit sire and son	A2
All that their race has wrought and won	A2
Since that great Cavendish came again	B2
Round the world and over the main	C2
Breasting the Thames with his mariners bold	D2
Past good Queen Bess's palace of old	D2
With jewel and ingot packed in his hold	D2
And sails of damask and cloth of gold	D2
While never a sailor boy on board	E2
But was decked as brave as a Spanish lord	E2
With the spoils he had won	A2
In the Isles of the Sun	A2
And the shores of Fairy land	F2
And yet held for the crown of the goodly show	D
That queenly smile from the Palace window	D
And that wave of a queenly hand	F2
Yes let the young be gay	C
And sun themselves to day	C
And from their hearts as from their dress	M
Let mourning pass away	C
But not from us who watch our years fast fleeing	G2
And snatching as they flee fresh fragments of our being	G2
Can we forget one friend	H2
Can we forget one face	I2
Which cheered us toward our end	H2
Which nerved us for our race	I2
Oh sad to toil and yet forego	D
One presence which has made us know	D
To Godlike souls how deep our debt	J2
We would not if we could forget	J2
	-
Severer Muses linger yet	J2
Speak out for us one pure and rich regret	J2
Thou Clio who with awful pen	B2
Gravest great names upon the hearts of men	B2
Speak of a fate beyond our ken	B2
A gem late found and lost too soon	J
A sun gone down at highest noon	J
A tree from Odin's ancient root	K2
Which bore for men the ancient fruit	K2
Counsel and faith and scorn of wrong	L2
And cunning lore and soothing song	L2
Snapt in mid growth and leaving unaware	M2
The flock unsheltered and the pasture bare	M2
Nay let us take what God shall send	H2
Trusting bounty without end	H2
God ever lives and Nature	B
Beneath His high dictature	B
Hale and teeming can replace	I2
Strength by strength and grace by grace	I2
Hope by hope and friend by friend	H2
Trust and take what God shall send	H2
So shall Alma Mater see	E
Daughters fair and wise	H
Train new lands of liberty	E
Under stranger skies	H
Spreading round the teeming earth	N2
English science manhood worth	N2
