Fair Harvard dear guide of our youth's golden days	C
At thy name all our hearts own a thrill	D
We turn from life's highways its business its cares	E
We are boys in thy tutelage still	D
And the warm blood of youth to our veins as of yore	F
Returns with impetuous flow	G
Reviving the scenes and the hopes that were ours	H
In the vanished but sweet Long Ago	G
	-
Once more through thy walks Alma Mater we tread	I
And we dream youth's fair dreams once again	J
We are heroes in fight for the Just and the Right	K
We are knights without fear without stain	L
Its doors in fair prospect the world opens wide	M
Its prizes seem easy to win	N
We are strong in our faith we are bold in our might	K
And we long for the race to begin	N
	-
Though dimmed are our hopes and our visions are fled	I
Our dreams were but dreams it is true	O
Dust stained from the contest we gather to night	K
The sweet dreams of youth to renew	O
Enough for to morrow the cares it shall bring	P
We are boys we are brothers to night	K
And our hearts warm with love Alma Mater to thee	B
Shall in loyal devotion unite	K

As we meet in thy name Alma Mater to night	K
All our hearts and our hopes are as one	Q
And love for the mother that nurtured his youth	R
Beats high in the breast of each son	Q
The sweet chords of Memory bridge o'er the Past	S
The years fade away like a dream	T
By the banks of Cephissus beneath the green trees	U
We tread thy fair walks Academe	T
	-
The heights of Hymettus that bound the near view	O
Fill the air with an odor as sweet	V
As the beautiful clusters of sun tinted grapes	W
From the vineyards that lie at our feet	V
O realm of enchantment O Wonderful land	X
Where the gods hold high converse with men	J
Come out from the dusk of past ages once more	F
And live in our fancy again	J
	-
Let us drink to the Past as our glasses we lift	Y
Let eye speak to eye heart to heart	Z
Let the bonds of sweet fellowship bind each to each	A2
In the hours that remain ere we part	Z
And thou Alma Mater grown fairer with age	B2
Let us echo the blessing that fell	C2
From thy motherly lips as we stood at thy side	M
And thou bad'st us God speed and Farewell	C2

Fair Harvard the months have accomplished their round	D2
And a year stands full orbed and complete	V
Since last at thy summons with dutiful hearts	E2
Thy children sat here at thy feet	V
Since last in thy presence grown youthful once more	F
We drank to the past and its joys	F2
Shaking off every care that encumbered our years	G2
And dreamed that again we were boys	F2
	-
To night once again in thy presence we meet	V
In the freshness and flush of life's spring	P
We wait but thy blessing we ask but thy smile	H2
As our sails to the free air we fling	P
The winds breathe auspicious that waft us along	I2
The sky undisturbed smiles serene	J2
Hope stands at the prow and the waters gleam bright	K
With sparkles of silvery sheen	J2
	-
And thy voice Alma Mater so potent and sweet	V
Still sounds in our ears as of yore	F
And thy motherly counsel we hear wisdom fraught	K2
As we push our frail barks from the shore	F
From the foam crested waves of the mountainous sea	B
As backward our glances we strain	L
We see the dear face of our mother benign	L2
And bless her again and again	J

There's a fountain of Fable whose magical power	M2
Time's ravages all could repair	N2
And replace the bowed form and the tottering step	O2
The wrinkles and silvery hair	N2
By the brown flowing locks and the graces of youth	R
Its footstep elastic and light	K
Could mantle the cheek with its long vanished bloom	P2
And make the dull eye keen and bright	K
	-
'Tis only a fable a beautiful dream	T
But the fable the dream shall come true	O
As thy sons Alma Mater assemble to night	K
The joys of past years to renew	O
Our eyes shall grow bright with their old wonted light	K
Our spirits untrammelled by care	N2
And the Goddess of Hope with her fresh rainbow tints	Q2
Shall paint every prospect more fair	N2
	-
How sweet were the friendships we formed in thy halls	R2
How strong were the tendrils that bound	D2
Our hearts to the mother whose provident care	N2
Encompassed her children around	D2
Now strong in our manhood we cherish her still	D
And if by misfortune brought low	G
Our strength shall support her our arms bear her up	S2
And sustain her through weal and through woe	G
