When twilight shadows deepen And the study hour draws nigh When shades of night are falling And the even'ng breezes sigh 'Tis then we love to gather 'Neath the pale moon's silv'ry spell And lift our hearts and voices In the songs we love so well .
Sons of old Massachusetts Devoted daughters true Bay State, ol' Bay State We give our best to you Thee our alma mater We'll cherish for all time Should auld acquaintance be forgot Massachusetts, yours and mine .
