Clear and true, the last notes lingered upon the air, and then slowly died away into the stillness of the summer night. Then Jack Howard’s voice led off in one parting cheer:—
“Rah! F. L. E. M. M. I. N. G.! Fszt! Rah! Rah! _Rah!_ RAH!” [Music: “_Here Sir!_”
Words by E. W. HOWSON. Music by EATON FANING. Allegro moderato. ♩= 112.
Like an an-cient ri-ver flow-ing From the mountain to the sea, So we fol-low
com-ing, go-ing To the wid-er Life to be—On our course From the source To the wi-der Life to be!
Here sir! Here sir! Here sir! Here sir! On the top of Har-row Hill, Here sir! Here sir! Here sir! Here sir! In the wind-y yard at Bill.
