| Show if A Wail HALF way up the stairs they sit t Deep in study foreheads knit And from banister to wall Not ot an inch of space at all t y Where a person can get by Y And we say with deep drawn sigh Here they stay Every day 1 Each and every day and hour Are these stairway fiends in power If a passers passer's footsteps fallOn fall fallOn fallOn J. J On the staircase in the hall He is sure to find a crowd J f i Who will say but not aloud r Here we stay Every day In our sorrow in our mirth J We wish them dead and under earth And yet this awful female band bandi i I Upon the stairs unchanged stand And as if fiends they wish to be beThey beThey They calm repeat those words with glee t II Here we stay Every day From the room class-room clothed in blue The student came and he saw aw too it That the stairs were occupied And as he wished to get outside Gymnastic feats came into play As he landed he heard them say R RF f 7 F Here we stay f Every day Ever there forever there And for our comfort they do not care So when to heaven they all are borne It will not be for us to mourn Unless on the Golden Stairs they sit And chant to us softly bit by bit 0 Here we stay Thus for aye C.
