Wakened the world to ecstacy again. Mist-silvered campus of a million d r e a m s! F a ir as a p h a n t a sy of peace you lie, light Your towers aglow with jeweled t h at gleams Steadfast as hope beneath the silent sky, And your slow river ripples where it slips Among t he rambling roots along the Like shore, l a u g h t er lips, lilting over childish B e n e a th t he magic spell of fairy lore. A spirit blest, The garden's slumber a nd t he foun invisible, pervades tain's fall; It glistens in the dew along the glades the wood-bine on And w a n d e rs with the wall; It sweeps the eyelids of the world's deep sleep Caressing war-worn brows of wander ing men, Whose hearts, drenched in t he t e a rs of Memory, leap To meet the dream of your calm breast again. Mist-silvered campus of a million dreams! The white lure of your paths leads far And safe across tonight, the sea your calm light gleams Even w h e re m en kill men, a nd God's own sight Grows weary in t he waste of h u m an blood, And t he soft shadow of your towers palls The ghastly face of Death above t he flood Of battle, when h e a r ts cease and dark ness falls. —Katherine Agnes Hume, '18.
