Roosevelt, Dearly Loved

'Mid sand dunes and purple hued skies

A temple of knowledge there lies

Enhanced by nature and soft dove cries

Roosevelt, dearly loved.

It gives us the faith that we need

For lifes noblest lessons to heed

And courage being our daily creed

Roosevelt, dearly loved.

Its colors bold ever black and gold

Bearing valor, justice and might

A faculty in regality

Teaching all the virtues of right.

For e'er may its portals ajar

Stand beacon to men near and far

To light their path as a guiding star

Roosevelt, dearly loved.
