Emblem .Superb Lily 
Sentiment .... Splendor. 
The sun in splendor rises 
To bless us with its light; 
He sets in splendor richer, 
When coming is the night. 
The Evening stars shine o’er us, 
With brightness all their own, 
While Luna’s gentle presence 
Tills her majestic throne,— 
And sheds her beams of silver 
Like light from beauty’s .eyes ; 
She lights the lovely valleys 
And the o’er-arching skies. 
Alas! that all this beauty 
Is borrowed! every ray 
Keflected here so sweetly, 
Shines from the King of day. 
So those who worship beauties, 
Will learn this lesson soon; 
Some shine with borrowed splendor, 
As ever does the moon.
