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
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!
