SUB NOCTEM.

No more we sing it, you and I.

The youth that fanged its lines with fire, -

That youth has found in Time a tomb;

And slow the lagging years expire

Like embers glowing in the gloom:

And now that life is nearly spent,

And we are sitting here alone,

Its music seems a dumb lament,

And tears are trembling in its tone.

- Acta Columbiana.
