Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Half a Century´s Record of the Springfield Ursulines Golden Jubilee! Full fifty times hath balmy Spring returned And brought sweet flowers to perfume Summer´s breath; Full fifty times have Autumn´s splendors burned, Preluding hoary Winter, by its death. Full fifty times in circling dance, the Earth Around the fulgent Sun her course hath sped Since Ursula´s fair standard of celestial birth Within our midst, our steps hath heavenward led. That banner waves, a royal pennon, leading Through paths where pensive Learning dwells apart, Or modest Virtue wooes, with gentlest pleading To seek the higher life, through purity of heart. The fifty years linked in that chaplet golden Have dropped into the chasm deep of years, And from its rocky base, in echoes olden Send back a mingled sound of joys and tears. O Fifty Years! how grand thy record shines Upon that page where all Life´s deeds are penned - What gleams of hidden wealth, thy golden mines From shadowy depths, reluctant send. We meet today to voice in glorious song A tribute that exulting fain would be A fitting crown, thy glories to prolong, E´en through the cycles of Eternity!
