Alma matter Tomorrows pass so soon behind us Into shadows of the past -- So the years will often find us, Calling days that flew so fast.
Come, come, days that we treasure, We live in you -- We Yearn now for the pleasure At college we knew; Friendships will always bind us; In youth we live, for mem'ries remind us Of Red, White, and Blue -- Come, days fullest in measure Of our A. U.
