Classic Poem

Growing , Growing still in NUMBERS ,
Still in living stones of strength;
Some on earth and some in Heaven,
Where you may arrive at length;
While the Moon her horns shall fill,
“C RESCENT ” be your motto still!

Growing , Growing still in WISDOM ,
Light still breaking, day by day,
Sacred light from yonder volume
Leading to the perfect way!
While the Moon her horns shall fill,
“C RESCENT ” be your motto still!

Growing , Growing still in HONOR ,
Still in all good men pursue;
Honest reputation gilding
Every gracious deed you do;
While the Moon her horns shall fill,
“C RESCENT ” be your motto still!

Growing , Growing still in GOODNESS ,
Drawing daily nearer Heaven;
All the emblems glowing round you
For that very purpose given,—
While the Moon her horns shall fill,
“C RESCENT ” be your motto still!

Growing , Growing :—Men of “Crescent,”
May your growing never cease,
While there is a voice to chasten,
Or a sorrowing heart to bless!
Till your fullness you shall see
Dawning on Eternity!
