From Hallowed Halls
From hallowed halls, where poets rhymed,
And writers wrote their words sublime
Fewer voices; a cold wind blows-
Within its walls are sad echoes
Resonating happier times.
And writers wrote their words sublime
Fewer voices; a cold wind blows-
Within its walls are sad echoes
Resonating happier times.
This house o'erflowed, when in its prime,
With febrile pens and fertile minds
Whose words burst forth in great salvos
From hallowed halls.
Where are they going? Can we find
All those who sang and wrote and rhymed?
They're departing; should we follow?
Shall we remain? Or must we go?
Or on us will a new light shine
From hallowed halls?
