THE CHAMOIS.
The Chomois wild from rock to rock,
Bound lightly o'er the pass;
With certain foot, the nimble flock
High seek the mountain grass.
Undaunted, active, bold and free,
These creatures love their liberty.
Bound lightly o'er the pass;
With certain foot, the nimble flock
High seek the mountain grass.
Undaunted, active, bold and free,
These creatures love their liberty.
The youth of ardent fiery brain,
Ambitious, virtuous, brave,
Like chamois, would the height attain,
The highest honors crave:
They seek the summit of renown,
And thus on indolence look down.
Ambitious, virtuous, brave,
Like chamois, would the height attain,
The highest honors crave:
They seek the summit of renown,
And thus on indolence look down.
The highest point that man can find,
In life's uneven road,
Is Love of learning, wisdom, mind,
A knowledge of his God.
For Love and Truth make Christians free,
The surest safest liberty.—

For Love and Truth make Christians free,
The surest safest liberty.—
