SONG FOR THE φ. β. κ. DINNER.
Drink, weary traveller, drink and pray
For the poor soul of Sybil Grey,
Who built this cross and well.
Marmion.
For the poor soul of Sybil Grey,
Who built this cross and well.
Marmion.
The pilgrim oft in days of old
Paused on his weary road
Where, guarded by its rude-hewn cross,
The fountain's current flowed:
And as upon the sparkling stream
His eye delighted fell,
He blessed in prayer the name of him
Who built the cross and well.
Paused on his weary road
Where, guarded by its rude-hewn cross,
The fountain's current flowed:
And as upon the sparkling stream
His eye delighted fell,
He blessed in prayer the name of him
Who built the cross and well.
We in our weary pilgrimage
Have turned aside to-day,
For thick upon our sandals lies
The dust of life's hot way.
We drink of Friendship's living wave
In Learning's sacred dell,
And bless in prayer the names of them
Who built this cross and well.
Have turned aside to-day,
For thick upon our sandals lies
The dust of life's hot way.
25
In Learning's sacred dell,
And bless in prayer the names of them
Who built this cross and well.
