THE RED AND GOLD
Come we will sing together
Though in the years before us, Once more the ringing song, Life’s skies grow dull and gray, A strain that the coming classes The friends of our youth are scattered Unceasingly shall prolong We journey our lonely way; The praise of our Alma Mater, Sweet memories oft will linger Dear Simpson, will e’er be told Of those dear days of old We’ll cherish thy recollections When beneath the whispering maples And swear by the Red and Gold We flaunted the Red and Gold
B enediction
