    St. Leon raised his kindling eye,
    And lifts the sparkling cup on high;
    "I drink to one," he said,
    "Whose image never may depart,
    Deep graven on this grateful heart,
    Till memory be dead."
    . . . .
    St. Leon paused, as if he would
    Not breathe her name in careless mood
    Thus lightly to another;
    Then bent his noble head, as though
    To give the word the reverence due,
    And gently said, "My mother!"

Here's to the town of New Haven,
The home of the truth and the light,
Where God speaks to Jones,
In the very same tones,
That he uses with Hadley and Dwight.

The cannons to the heavens, the heaven to earth,

Here's to the red of it,
There's not a thread of it,

Not heroes bled for it,
Faced steel and lead for it,
Precious blood shed for it,
Bathing in red.
