哈佛大学校歌FAIR HARVARD
2019年03月03日
"Fair Harvard" is the alma mater of Harvard University. Composed by the Reverend Samuel Gilman of the class of 1811 for the university's 200th anniversary in 1836, it bids the school an affectionate farewell. Of its four verses, the first and fourth are traditionally sung and the second and third omitted. Its first line was revised to read "..we join in thy jubilee throng" between 1997 and 1998. As a side effect of the change, the word throng, a verb in the original lyrics, became a noun.The song's original lyrics are as follows:Fair Harvard! thy sons to thy Jubilee throng,And with blessings surrender thee o'erBy these festival rites, from the age that is past,To the age that is waiting before.O relic and type of our ancestors' worthThat hast long kept their memory warm,First flow'r of their wilderness! Star of their night!Calm rising thro' change and thro' storm.To thy bow'rs we were led in the bloom of our youth,From the home of our infantile years,When our fathers had warn'd, and our mothers had pray'd,And our sisters had blest thro' their tears.Thou then wert our parent, the nurse of our soul;We were molded to manhood by thee,Till freighted with treasure thoughts, friendships and hopes,Thou didst launch us on Destiny's sea.When as pilgrims we come to revisit thy halls,To what kindlings the season gives birth!Thy shades are more soothing, thy sunlight more dear,Than descend on less privileged earth.For the good and the great, in their beautiful prime,Thro' thy precincts have musingly trod,As they girded their spirits or deepen'd the streamsThat make glad the fair city of God.Farewell! be thy destinies onward and bright!To thy children the lesson still give,With freedom to think, and with patience to bear,And for right ever bravely to live.Let not moss-covered error moor thee at its side,As the world on truth's current glides byBe the herald of light, and the bearer of love,Till the stock of the Puritans die

Illegitimum non Carborundum -- ipso facto
Ten thousand men of Harvard want victry today
For they know that oer old EliFair

So then well conquer old Elis men
And when the gameends

Ten thousand men of Harvard
