In many lands and climes this April day Proud sons of Texas A&M unite. Our loyalty to country, school, we pray, and seal our pact with bond of common might. |
We live again those happy days of yore on campus, field, in classroom, dorm, at drill Fond memory brings a sigh -- but nothing more; Now we are men and life’s a greater thrill, |
On Corregidor * years ago today A band of gallant Aggies, led by Moore, Held simple rites which led to us doth all to say: The spirit shall prevail through cannon roar. |
Before we part and go upon our way, We pause to honor those we knew so well; The old familiar faces we miss so much today Left cherished recollections that time cannot dispel. |
Softly call the Muster, Let comrade answer, “Here!” Their spirits hover ‘round us As if to bring us cheer! |
Mark them ‘present’ in our hearts. We’ll meet some other day There is no death, but life etern For our old friends such as they! |
by Dr. John Ashton ‘06 |
...here...
This gave me goosebumps..just as if I was sitting in Reed Arena with you several years ago at Muster. I was never an Aggie, but will always be an Aggie at heart through my friends and family members!
