HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
(From one who was at Harvard with him.)
Who thinks of Alan Seeger now?
Just you and I and one or two
Who love the drifting dreamy days
That spring brings back both fair and blue.
A few to whom a dream is real,
That look beyond the trail of Life
And see above the May-time clouds
A haven free from storm and strife.
The dull world takes it way once more
Along the paths of greed and gain;
Remembering not the sacrifice,
Forgetting all the blood and pain
Of those who left Home, Youth and Love,
And made the offering supreme
That men might safely carry on
And lovers rove the Fields of Dream.
Yes, men forget; but there are those
Who love brave life and young romance;
Whose heartstrings vibrate at the thought
Of those who died for Right--and France.
And now, when apple blossoms bloom
And balm of springtime fills the air,
We think of him who led the way
And died at Belloy-en-Santerre.
JOHN H. McGOUGH, Law '08, in New York Tribune.
