Book Description

Excerpt from Haileybury Chapel: And Other Sermons Haileyburia Quadrata. Reprinted from the Haileyburian, March 6, 1884, by permission of the Rev. J. Robertson, Head-Master of Haileybury College. Four-Square to all the winds that blow Are built the borders of our nest - To sunny south and Zembla's snow, To rosy dawn and purple west: So shall the banner of our pride For either fortune float unfurled, To woo the breeze of summer-tide, Or breast the winters of the world! The temple of our boyhood's home 'Mid busy life embosomed lies; Yet takes upon her stately dome The impress of the vaulted skies. So may each trusty heart that here Fulfils his level course below, Be rounded to the perfect sphere, Irradiant with ethereal glow. O never be the memory drowned By manhood's strife or worldly care, Of happy laughter ringing round Through all the fragrant summer air! Of honest work and mimic wars, Of bosky heath and misty vale, And holier thoughts beneath the stars To music of the nightingale. J. R.
