Envoy

As wandering breezes wake again to song
Some silent viol till the spaces throng
With gay life, music-conjured, and the spell
Seems to but thrill the vibrant chanterelle
  To tenderer melody;

So memory shall breathe across the strings
Of these glad college years, rose-twined, where clings
In after days the music of fair hours
To wake their sweetness, fragrance of past flowers,
  To tenderer melody.

- Beth Bradford Gilchrist, 1902.
