There comet): now—the parting day.
You always gave the helping hand
At church, in home—(The Golden Rule) ;
But your great conquest in our land;
A queenly manner in our school.
Child after child claimed aid from you,
You never failed—but gave your beat;
Each child with( joy and zeal to do,
Fought for the goal at your behest.
Your faith—the strongest part of you,
Strengthened our faith—may it keep strong;
Because of thiswe seek to do
The deeds, which help mankind along.
Fraught are youryears with noble deeds—
With proffered hand, with moistened eye:.
Maywe like you, sow"Kindness" seeds;
The hour has come --we say Goodbye.
