CHOWAN INVICTA
Tune: Adaptation of “Simple
Anne.”
Hail t othee. Wise Chowan!
Thou blazeth the trail of lore.
Thy cause implores us, thy light
shines o’er us,
Guiding us as of yore.
Aims inspiring, souls desiring
To tread the heights where thy
beacon leads.
Here impelling, there excelling.
Thine is a goal the fu tu re pleads.
Chowan bells are ringing, sound
in the deep ravine.
New friends enrolling, old friends
extolling.
Theirs is a glorious theme.
Hail to three. F air Chowan!
Thy beauty surpasses all;
White columns standing, green
pines commanding,
G randeur and strength enthrall.
Vines enwinding, strong ties bind­
ing.
Thine is a spell which no time can
end;
Heaven sending, nature lending.
Their richest gifts to thee to
blend.
Chowan colors waving, dance in
the virgin calm;
White clouds subsiding, blue skies
abiding.
Theirs an eternal psalm.
Chowan, Alma Mater!
Thy loyal daughters we.
Thy cause is glorious, our songs
victorious.
Through all eternity.
Thou hast led us, thou hast wed
us.
Ours is a bond which no change
