First American Dragon

In Oswego was born a dragon Who'd woo the Queen of Oyster Bay And in his childhood lost his parents Although his country took their place He was a soldier and a Yankee He was a Sphinx Head and a Knick He was an imperialistic liberal He was loved and he was praised He was the first American dragon His fire was passion: hot and bright And when he had to lay to rest He was better than the rest Oh, Willard Dickerman Straight! He fled Korea in the wartime He fled from China just the same He tried to flee the influenza And died in Paris, spreading peace And though he didn't see his forties Though his flame was short and bright We still feel his lasting sympathies We still seek the love he wrought So when you wander onto Schoellkopf When you visit Shield's for a bite When you want a true Cornellian Look to Will, he did it right He is gone, far too soon, we need his light more than ever "Treat all women with courtesy The respect of your fellows is worth more than applause Understand and sympathize with those who are less fortunate than you are Make up your mind but respect the opinions of others Think it out yourself guided by the choices of those whom you respect Hold your head high and keep your mind open, you can always learn"
