Alma Mater
Wesalute thee, AlmaMater, we salute thee with a song,
At thyfeetour loyal hearts their tribute lay;
We had waitedfor thy coming in the darkness, waited long.
Ere the morningstarproclaimed thy natal day.
Thou hast come through tribulation and thy robe is clean and white.
Thou artfairer than the summer in its bloom.
Thou art bom unto a kingdom and thy crown is all oflight;
Thou shaltsmile away the shadow and thegloom.
In thypath thefields shall blossom and the desertshall rejoice,
In the wilderness a livingfountain spring;
For the blindshall see thy beauty and the deafshall hear thy voice.
And the silent tongues their high hosannas sing.
Where the rhododendron blushes on the burly mountain's breast.
In the midland, where the wild deer love to roam;
Where the water lilyslumbers, while the cypressguards its rest,
Lo, thysunny land ofpromise and thy home.
Where the sons ofCarolina taught a nation to befree.
And her daughters taught their brothers to be brave;
O'er a land ofpeacefulplenty,from the highlands to the sea.
May thy banner. Alma Mater, ever wave.
—Richard Tilman Vann, President ofMeredith College, 1900-1915
