Swarthmore Songs, Herbert Lawyer Brown, Wlliam Walter Timmis, 1917
What memorial delight belongs
To all my thought of Swarthmore Songs,
To all my thought that yearneth so
For college years of long ago!
O, Swarthmore Songs, you hold a spell
Beyond the reach of words to tell!

"The Garnet" calls me far away
To blossom-time in virgin May,
Or drowsy nights in early June
When mandolins beneath the moon
Were throbbing soft in measured beat
To songs melodious and sweet.
To songs that make the old days arise
And live again for loving eyes
And loving hearts whose memories flow
From out the golden Lon Ago!

O, "Alma Mater" thine's a spell
Beyond the reach of words to tell;-
It's kindly cadence bears me back
On Memory's remotest track;
It's magic music touches tears
Of loyal longing for the years
Of youth,- the years we live once more
When sound the Songs of Old Swarthmore!

                JOHN RUSSELL HAYES, '88
