"YALE, A.D. 2000" by ANONYMOUS

First Line: FAR FROM THE BALL-ROOM'S CROWDED THRONG
Last Line: A YALE LOCK LONG AND GRAY
Subject(s): YALE UNIVERSITY;
FAR from the ball-room's crowded throng
These two had strolled apart,
While he with fervor whispered of
Her image in his heart.

And that he might detain it there
Forever from that day,
Our Co-ed shyly gave to him
A Yale lock long and gray.
