Our Alma Mater Cook Book (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Our Alma Mater Cook Book<br><br>On that primal morn when the world was young<br>When the morning stars in their courses sung,<br>Fair was his face, like a god's in sooth,<br>Aglow with the color and life of youth.<br>He saw the first stars that emblazoned the skies;<br>Saw the radiant dawn of the first sunrise;<br>Saw primitive men with their primitive Eves<br>Drest in wild skins and bright-hued leaves.<br>He saw the dread deluge rise and rise<br>Till it hid the world from his horrified eyes;<br>He saw the purged world emerge from the flood,<br>The rainbow that sealed the promise of God.<br>He saw the earth quickly peopled again<br>With teeming cities, and towns, and men;<br>He saw their battles, contentions, and strife,<br>Their struggles for fame, and wealth, and life;<br>And his face grew stern as he saw men's ways,<br>And his sad eyes hardened to a petrified gaze.<br><br>Everett K.
