Opening Verses


3-5th Grade


"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
Of cabbages--and kings--
And why the sea is boiling hot--
And whether pigs have wings."
  --from Lewis Carroll's  The Walrus and the Carpenter



          5th Grade

Look to this day for it is life,
    the very life of life.
 Yesterday is but a dream
And tomorrow is only a vision
 But today well lived
   makes every yesterday
  a dream of happiness
And tomorrow
  a vision of hope.
Look well, therefore, to this day!


--Kalidasa






 
Transition Verses

And the stately ships go on
To their haven under the hill;
But O for the touch of a vanish'd hand
And the sound of a voice that is still!

--from Break, break, break
by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

 
 
Ending Verses

Now our lesson is completed
The work we have done shall rest
If we have done our best
Wisdom and love and knowledge shall grow
To guide and bless all those we know.



Fall Verses

Yellow the bracken,
 Golden the sheaves,
 Rosy the apples,
 Crimson the leaves;
Mist on the hillside,
 Clouds grey and white.
Autumn good morning!
Summer good night!

-Traditional




Brave and true will I be
Each good deed sets me free
Each kind word makes me stron;
I will fight for the right
I will conquer the wrong.
