On Bancroft height Aurora's face	A
Shines brighter than a star	B
As stepping forth in dewy grace	A
The gates of day unbar	B
And lo the firmament the hills	C
And the vales that intervene	D
Creation's self with gladness thrills	C
To greet the matin queen	D
	-
On Bancroft height the atmosphere	B
Is but an endless waft	E
Of life's elixir pure and clear	B
As mortal ever quaffed	E
And such the sweet salubrity	E
Of air and altitude	E
Is banished many a malady	E
And suffering subdued	E
	-
On Bancroft height the sunset glow	F
When day departing dies	G
Outrivals all that tourists know	F
Of famed Italian skies	G
And happy dwellers round about	E
Who view the scene aright	E
In admiration grow devout	E
And laud the Lord of light	E
	-
Round Bancroft height rich memories	H
Commingle earth's affairs	I
Among the world's celebrities	H
Of him whose name it bears	I
The scholar wise compatriot	E
Who left to later men	J
The grand achievements unforgot	E
Of that historic pen	J
	-
Fair Bancroft height revisited	E
When all the land is white	E
A halo crowns its noble head	E
Impelling fresh delight	E
The daring wish in winter time	K
The blizzard to defy	L
Those shining slippery slopes to climb	K
Up nearer to the sky	L
	-
Though Boreas abrade the cheek	M
With buffetings of snow	F
He gives a vigor that the weak	M
And languid never know	F
And with rejuvenescent thrill	N
Like children everywhere	B
Bestirs the rhapsody the will	N
To make a snow man there	B
	-
On Bancroft height and Bancroft tower	B
Such vistas charm the eye	L
'Twere life's consummate glorious hour	B
But to behold and die	L
Yet in the sparkle and the glow	F
Is earth so very fair	B
The spirit lingers loath to go	F
And dreams of heaven up there	B
