To Denison Song

To Denison

V.E. Field, Class of 1903
Air: "Oh Bring the Wagon Home, John"

To Denison, we raise our song
Fair college on the hill
The name that sets our souls on fire
And makes our senses thrill.
To Denison my Denison
In praise our voices swell
The scenes of happy college days
The home we love so well.

Oh morning glow which gilds the east
Oh sun which shines at noon
Oh stars which bloom at eventide
Oh radiant glowing moon
Look from the pathless azure dome
Shed blessings from above
On college halls and college walls
The Denison we love.

And when the shadows softly fall
O'er hills and valleys dear
Across the college campus rings
The melody so clear
The circling hills throw back again
The glad inspiring song
And in our hearts to Denison
Our praises we prolong.

When from the fold we far shall stray
With souls forever young
We'll ne'er forget our college days
These happy scenes among
And when our steps have feeble grown
Our journey almost done
E'en then with fleeting breath we'll praise
Our dear old Denison.
