Alma Mater Lyrics by Brown University

Alma Mater & Fight Song

1860

[Verse 1]
Alma Mater, we hail thee with loyal devotion
And bring to thine altar our off 'ring of praise
Our hearts swell within us, with joyful emotion
As the name of old Brown in loud chorus we raise
The happiest moments of youth's fleeting hours
We've passed, 'neath the shade of these time-honored walls
And sorrows as transient as April's brief showers
Have clouded our life in Brunonia's halls
[Verse 2]
And when we depart from thy friendly protection
And boldly launch out upon life's stormy main
We'll oft look behind us, with grateful affection
And live our bright college days over again
When from youth we have journeyed to manhood's high station
And hopeful young scions around us have grown
We'll send them, with love and deep veneration
As pilgrims devout, to the shrine of Old Brown
[Verse 3]
And when life's golden autumn with winter is blending
And brows, now so radiant, are furrowed by care
When the blightings of age on our heads are descending
With no early friends all our sorrows to share
Oh! then, as in memory backward we wander
And roam the long vista of past years adown
On the scenes of our student life often we'll ponder
And smile, as we murmur the name of Old Brown
