[Verse 1]
O grim, grey Palisades, thy shadow
Upon the rippling Hudson falls,
And mellow mingled tints of sunset
Illumine now our classic halls;
While students gather 'round thy altars
With tributes of devotion true,
And mingle merry hearts and voices
In praise of NYU.
[Verse 2]
But college friendship all must sever,
And fade as does the dying day,
And closest kinships all be broken
As out in life we wend our way;
And yet, whatever be life's fortune,
Through mem'ry fails and friends be few
Wе'll love thee still, our Alma Mater
Our dear old NYU.
