Milady in Brown 1908 . ancy travels,To the time when first mans hand Disturbed this unbroken splendorAnd built here this mansion grand. Statues of whitest marble From distant lands then came, To add their snowy beautyTo the gardens growing fame. VII In secluded nooks and bowersThe old story oft was told. And love played merry havoc With hearts—in those days of old. Among the paths and flowersSoon happy laughs rang out. And ladies quaintly costumedFlitted lightly all about. But now all this has vanished; Silent the tap of each heel;Hushed the low, sweet murmur of voices. And the angry ciangor of steel. For now the old, old mansionInto a college has been wrought. And knowledge wide and variedTo hundreds of girls is taught. And my mind is brought back to the present By shouts of mirth and glee,And a noisy throng of schoolgirls Hastening in from a walk I see. And here in all its grandeur. Each Southern girls boast and pride,Stands Belmont, beautiful Belmont, Whose fame has spread far and wide. Berta
