~Bed During Exams.~
_(With Apologies to Mr. Stevenson.)_
I used to go to bed at night,
And only worked when day was light.
But now 'tis quite the other way,
I never get to bed till day.
I look up from my work and see
The morning light shine in on me,
And listen to a warning knell--
The tinkle of the rising bell.
And does there not seem cause to weep,
When I should like so much to sleep,
I have to sing this mournful lay,
I cannot get to bed till day?

It's all very well
For a boy, who can yell
For his own special college through all, without fail.
How can I be true
To the red or the blue,
When Will is at Harvard, and Tom is at Yale?
When one comes to call,
I must stop in the hall
To see that his pin's in a prominent place,
They're both on the crew,
And I'm all in a stew,
For I'm pledged as a mascot for both in the race!
Dear Will's such a swell,
And he dresses so well,
(Tom says that he puts on a great deal of dog),
His tenor is fine
And his waltzing divine.
But you ought to see Tom do his skirt-dance and clog!
It's all very well
For a boy, who can yell
For his own special college through all, without fail.
