Cbe Dome
WALTER H. NICHOLS
H, where 's the tow'ring Dome,
We knew in days gone by?
Its presence on the campus
Was a joy to the eye.
We wonder where it went to,We cannot understand,Was the journey that it took
To a bright, happy land?
Did an evil-minded man,
With a knife in a sheath,
Climbing on the college roof,
With a gritting of his teeth,
Give our Dome such a fright
That it leaned out of plumb,
And cut up other antics,
That struck beholders dumb?
Was it 'cause good Major Soule,
While rushing up the flag,
Hung Old Glory upside down,
That made our proud Dome sag?
Or was our poor Dome weary?
Did it long for repose
From the tenor's rising plaint,
The soprano's bitter woes?
