They too adjure admirers—lost in space Of some prolonged, oblivious embrace— To be within their rooms, before this clock Must strike the hour when dormitories lock. Beginning men are humbled when the bells Vibrate adjacent elms with cadent swells, And as modes, they mould themselves to foreign They yet regret that homely episodes Must be declined when one decides to find Emergence of his misty, yearning mind. Yet, pensively, they sense a passive force That aids adherence to some chosen course Which might be bogged with theory and detail Until the student floundered in the swale. Assured and certain stand the senior men. Anxious—they glance to where late goals have been.
