	-
The summer dawn is breaking	B
On Auburn's tangled bowers	C
The golden light is waking	B
On Harvard's ancient towers	C
The sun is in the sky	D
That must see us do or die	D
Ere it shine on the line	E
Of the CLASS OF '	-
	-
At last the day is ended	F
The tutor screws no more	G
By doubt and fear attended	F
Each hovers round the door	G
Till the good old Praeses cries	H
While the tears stand in his eyes	H
You have passed and are classed	I
With the Boys of '	-
	-
Not long are they in making	B
The college halls their own	J
Instead of standing shaking	B
Too bashful to be known	J
But they kick the Seniors' shins	H
Ere the second week begins	H
When they stray in the way	K
Of the BOYS OF '	-
	-
If a jolly set is trolling	B
The last Der Freischutz airs	H
Or a cannon bullet rolling	B
Comes bouncing down the stairs	H
The tutors looking out	L
Sigh Alas there is no doubt	L
'T is the noise of the Boys	H
Of the CLASS OF '	-
	-
Four happy years together	M
By storm and sunshine tried	N
In changing wind and weather	M
They rough it side by side	N
Till they hear their Mother cry	D
You are fledged and you must fly	D
And the bell tolls the knell	O
Of the days of '	-
	-
Since then in peace or trouble	P
Full many a year has rolled	Q
And life has counted double	P
The days that then we told	Q
Yet we'll end as we've begun	R
For though scattered we are one	R
While each year sees us here	S
Round the board of '	-
	-
Though fate may throw between us	H
The mountains or the sea	H
No time shall ever wean us	H
No distance set us free	H
But around the yearly board	T
When the flaming pledge is poured	T
It shall claim every name	U
On the roll of '	-
	-
To yonder peaceful ocean	R
That glows with sunset fires	H
Shall reach the warm emotion	R
This welcome day inspires	H
Beyond the ridges cold	Q
Where a brother toils for gold	Q
Till it shine through the mine	E
Round the Boy of '	-
	-
If one whom fate has broken	R
Shall lift a moistened eye	D
We'll say before he 's spoken	R
Old Classmate don't you cry	D
Here take the purse I hold	Q
There 's a tear upon the gold	Q
It was mine it is thine	E
A'n't we BOYS OF '	-
	-
As nearer still and nearer	M
The fatal stars appear	V
The living shall be dearer	M
With each encircling year	V
Till a few old men shall say	K
We remember 't is the day	K
Let it pass with a glass	H
For the CLASS OF '	-
	-
As one by one is falling	B
Beneath the leaves or snows	H
Each memory still recalling	B
The broken ring shall close	H
Till the nightwinds softly pass	H
O'er the green and growing grass	H
Where it waves on the graves	H
Of the BOYS OF '	-
