Acta est Fabula, Plaudite!
Published:
Even the glamour of gold with time begins to fade away,
Its splendour and gleam diminishes sadly day by day,
The golden treasure of opulence and majesty that we define,
As College, the heart of our lives that is to us so divine,
Has the worst of all adversities on it reclining,
Like all other, College too in many ways is declining.
Standing against an eternal truth: this descent inevitable,
Lies almost outside the realms that we know as possible,
Yet there is one unique force striving to accomplish,
The noble task of preserving College; that coveted wish,
The Council of esteem that guards with care this glory and pride,
Day and night to achieve this worthy goal takes many a stride.
An year of striving to give life to the traditions that may have been,
Lost if not for the onerous efforts, commitment, dedication so keen,
That they portrayed in all their work to the highest vertex,
Sacrifices they made in the name of College pile up to an apex,
A strenuous but worthwhile year of panache and flamboyance,
Has come to an end revealing Royal spirit’s true essence.
Wonders and magic have been performed within one year,
The success is evident in each magnificent endeavour,
Uplifting the honour of college in every single avenue,
The dying lore from bygone times they knew to renew;
And even for the plain student the pillar of strength stood still,
Sheltering from every problem, the pupils with joy they did fill.
All good times must meet their ends someday and so must all of this,
Ends now an year of wondrous memories that to College was indeed bliss,
The Council with all their lives the legacy of College secured undiminished,
The heart of College for us to guard and protect they have relinquished,
Gratitude for the fame and glory they brought in our hearts are indelibly written,
The debts they repaid and the honour they rebuild shall never be forgotten.
Farewell to them, the great men who led this legacy for yet another year,
The treasure bestowed on us shall be guarded with life and blood, do not fear.
