CLASS SONG (A.H.S.), by MARJORIE H. DICK First Line: Now on this day of days Last Line: Class of twenty-four! Subject(s): Commencement; Graduation | |||
Now on this day of days, To start on untried ways We have no fear. We have been gathering force From vast and varied source Throughout our high school course, From year to year. We have two lives to live: Did not our soldiers give Us their bright light? Our heroes lost their hour; For with them new-found power We'll lift our life bought dower Toward greater height. We go to build again A world long stressed with pain -- To banish war; We go to uphold right; Strife has not dimmed our sight; The world looks to us for light; Class of twenty-four! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VERSES READ AT DINNER OF CLASS OF '82 OF BOSTON LATIN SCHOOL by GEORGE SANTAYANA GRADUATION by DOROTHEA TANNING BOARDING: 6.
