[p. 59]
How the rafters rang with music!
Music of our national anthem
And our Camp Fire cry, ‘Wo-he-lo.’
See! before the firelight standing
Three tall candles all unlighted
Waiting for Nioda's coming
Waiting for the maid She-she-bens,
Waiting for the maid Jaswedo.
Each one knelt before her candle
In her hand a lighted taper,
Touched it to the candle, saying,
“Work and Health and Love are lighted With the magic word ‘ Wo-he-lo.’
”
Stood outside the camp a maiden
To become one of our number,
Stood before the guardian saying
Earnest words of her desire
To become a Camp Fire maiden.
Then, replied the guardian to her
After all her words were spoken,
“You are now one of our number Camps of Sagamore and Mystic.
”
Then bestowed upon their members
Twelve in number well-won honors
So, unto each necklace adding,
Precious beads of many colors,
Six unto the Camp of Sagamore,
Six unto the Camp of Mystic.
Then, into the Wood-gatherers' circle
There were gathered nine new members,
Four from Mystic,
Five from Sagamore.
On each hand was placed a token
Silver ring of seven fagots and the circles of ‘Wo-he-lo.’
Then our closing song together
Sang we all the ‘Day is Over.’
And unto their homes departed
All the loyal Camp Fire maidens.
