Ode to BU at 40

Thou art Bicol University.
Thou art as ruby at forty.
Thou art as verdant leaf
Spreads its gleaming sheet
Like a vinta smoothly sails
Across the Bicol’s glowing sea;
Sturdy; yet, humble and proud!
Thy deep beauty of excellence
Blooms in the heart of humanity;
Growing like a pili kernel; sealed
With firm shield that embraces
The blossom of thy gentle spirit;
Thy gentle spirit grows like a
Brilliant ore of lore molding into
An eminent gold; a silhouette
Of thy pillar; the tower of thy
Strength over defiant aftermath.
Thou art University of Bicolanos.
Rose at the foot of Mt. Mayon.
Firm! Swift! Fervent! Stanch!
Thy deep beauty of innovation
Raises in the mind of humanity.
Thou art as ruby at forty.
Thou art Bicol University.
