And Harvard hon'ring all, and fain to pay
Her debt of love to those who fought and fell,
Has built a stately hall her love to tell.
Pray heaven that war may never come again
To fill the nation's heart with grief and hate.

But strife will come and with it woe and pain,
And bloodless battles will be fought, as great
As those of war, and men will freely spend
Their lives to add unto the truth some light;
And in this strife must Harvard join and lend
Her learning and her zeal to those that fight
Against all evil things and to uphold the right.
Old Harvard's stream must ever onward sweep
Still wid'ning, blessing, lab'ring, singing, strong
With youth, joyous with hope, and broad and deep
