8 CARMEN OHIO Words by Fred A. Cornell, '06 (Spanish Chant) Ohl come let's sing Ohio's praise, And songs to Alma Mater raise; While our hearts rebounding thrill, With joy which death alone can still. Summer's heat or Winter's cold, The seasons pass, the years will roll; Time and change will surely show How firm thy friendship Ohio. These jolly days of priceless worth, By for the gladdest days of earth, Soon will pass and we not know How dearly we love Ohio. We should strive ta keep thy name Of fair repute and spotless fame; So, in college halls we' ll grow To love thee better Ohio. Tho' age may dim our mem'ry's store, We' ll think of happy days of yore, True to friend and frank to foe, As sturdy sons of Ohio. If on seas of care we roll, ' Neath blackened sky, o'er barren shoal, Tho'ts of thee bid darkness go, Dar Alma Mater Ohio.
