George Warrell A SONG FOR SPRI NGFIELD ALMA MATER Now raise a song for Springfield, let hearts and voices blend, To celebrate her praises whose fame shall have no end; While fellowship makes holy, while eager hope elates, And visioned men come thronging her spacious gates. Earth-wide may happy boyhood lift high his wond'ring eyes, Strong youth bring back the vision of earthly paradise; To follow truth to wisdom, nor faint through fa it' ring fears, Be this thy task, a Springfield, through all the years.
