When down the swift tide of life we are gliding

Days of our childhood left far behind

Oft in fond mem'ry Rises a picture

Calling thoughts joyful or sad to the mind

What strikes the chord of so sweet recollection?

Sportsfield and classroom, the disciplined rule

Triumphs and failures Companions so faithful

Scene of life's springtime, the School!

 Chorus


So in chorus old and young

Cheerily sing!   Let it ring!

Comrades faithful, true and strong

Let it rise! To the skies!

Staunch in fair and stormy weather

Join with heart and voice together

Side by side, companions ever

To the end.

 

Where once a Bishop storm-tossed on the ocean

Sought peace and rest on Alwara's shore

By the historic Waters of Solent

Rises our School, may it flourish e'er more

Long through the years may its praises be sounded

If past and present we make it our rule

Whether in work or in pastime the contest

Ever to strive for the School!

Then when our schooldays are o'er, and reluctant

Leave we at last its sheltering care

Shaping our course by worthy traditions

Calmly good fortune or evil we'll bear

And in the struggle for fame and position

With heart undaunted and courage e'er cool

Playing the game we will put into practice

Lessons we learnt at the School!
