TO ALMA MATER, by                    
First Line: To alma mater, wellesley's daughters
Last Line: Answer to her ev'ry call.
Subject(s): Wellesley College


To Alma Mater, Wellesley's daughters
All together join and sing;
Through all her wealth of wood and waters,
Let your happy voices ring.
In ev'ry changing mood we love her,
Love her towers and woods and lake.
Oh, changeful sky, bend blue above her;
Wake, ye birds, your chorus wake!

We'll sing her praises now and ever,
Blessed fount of truth and love;
Our heart's devotion, may it never
Faithless or unworthy prove.
We'll give our lives and hopes to serve her,
Humblest, highest, noblest, all;
A stainless name we will preserve her,
Answer to her ev'ry call.
