Tuning: E A D G B E
This is one of the traditional Kenyon College songs that all alumni of the school(like myself) know well.
I couldn't find the music written down anywhere, so I put this arrangement together. Enjoy!

Lyrics:
Old Kenyon we are like Kokosing
Obedient to some strange spell
Which urges us from all reposing
Farewell old Kenyon, fare the well
And yet we are not like Kokosing
Which beareth naught upon its swell
But foam of motion's own composing
Farewell old Kenyon, fare the well
But when we are far from Kokosing
We still shall hear a calling bell
When 'round us evening shades are closing
Farewell old Kenyon, fare the well
And see a river like Kokosing
In meadows sweet with asphodel
Where mem'ry dwells dear past supposing
Farewell old Kenyon, fare the well
