Punchard School Ode

 

               by William Goldsmith

 

Our Dear Alma Mater, fair Punchard all hail!

In faith, ever filial and true,

Our pledge of a love for thee never to fail,

Again hand in hand we renew;

To thee, in the spirit and light of the hour,

This oasis green of our way, -

All gemmed with bright stars of our

     hope-in-the-flower,

We bring a fresh garland to-day!
