[unknown] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
FAR ABOVE CAYUGA'S WATERS
Far above Cayuga's waters
With it's waves of blue
Stands our noble alma mater
Glorious to view
Lift the chorus, speed it onward
Loud her praises tell
Hail, all hail, Cornell
Far above the busy humming
Of the bustling town
Reared against the arch of heaven
Looks she proudly down
