AVE ATQUE VALE

Though nevermore we tread the ways
 That our returning feet have known
Past Oriel, and Christ Church gate
 Unto those dearer walls, our own.

.....

Oxford is evermore the same,
 Unto the uttermost verge of time,
Though grave-dust choke the sons of men,
 And silence wait upon the rime.
