Excerpt from Reminiscences of Scenes and Characters in College: By a Graduate of Yale, of the Class of 1821 They are gone, Those festivals of fancy and of hope, Those May-days of the spirit, when the voice Of nature had a sweetness wholly new, And most delightful to us, and the form And fashion of all creatures took a tint From the fair hght within us We have known such hours, And they shall be remembered.
