corvid_conquestOur motto claims this one desire,
"In Word & Deed, with Plume & Seed!"
Around that providence we lead
The spirit of the age still higher.
With each a song, they all aspire
To far advance sustaining speed
That motto etched with one desire:
"In Word & Deed, with Plume & Seed!"
Yet something calms this passion's fire;
It strangles varied fruits, a weed
Where wisdom lost, debased in creed,
Uproots the children of the lyre –
Whose motto sings their sole desire
In Word & Deed, with Plume & Seed!

It strangles varied fruits, a weed
Where wisdom lost, debased in creed,
Uproots the children of the lyre –
Whose motto sings their sole desire
In Word & Deed, with Plume & Seed!
