Synopsis:
Excerpt from Class Poem: Delivered in the University Chapel, July 14, at the Valedictory Exercises of the Class of 1835 Sonnet Dedicatory. To the Memory of F. W. H. With trembling notes I dedicate this lay, Affection's gift at Memory's hallowed shrine, To one, whose voice I trusted would combineIn sad adieus with ours this parting day, -A voice hushed early on our toilsome way.Yet, spirit blest of hardly mortal birth, But for a moment lent to light our earthWith transient lustre, with a fleeting ray, If thou canst hear us in that far-off landWhere human griefs obtrude not on thy bliss, Descend to hover o'er this brother band, Rendering more dear a hallowed hour like this;Unseen, unknown, with angel accents swellThe solemn murmurs of our last farewell.

Product Description:
Excerpt from Class Poem: Delivered in the University Chapel, July 14, at the Valedictory Exercises of the Class of 1835
Amid the wastes of Afric's burning sands, Wearied and pale, the way-worn pilgrim stands, Lingering with earnest gazings to explore The dreary desert he has wandered o'er, Recalling sorrows past, and bliss enjoyed, With pleasures tempered, or with pangs alloyed, Dangers and trials, - sage instructers,-each Able stern lessons to impart and teach.
