Dear Western

Written in 1913

    Dear Western, we greet thee with songs of thy praise
    And with hopes that unchanged may be,
    That forever in safety each ship thou wilt guide
    O’er the tempest of destiny’s sea,
    May thy colors for aye wave proudly on high,
    May thy neme e’er be linked unto fame;
    For we’ve loved thee, now love thee, and ever shall love
    And ever shall honor they name.

    Of our community.

    By her colors flying high.
