The Song "Kellerman's Anthem"

As the talent show ends, some of the resort's employees and guests sing "Kellerman's Anthem".

The lyrics:

Kellerman's, we come together, singing all as one.
We have shared another season's talent, play and fun.
Summer days will soon be over, soon the autumn starts,
And tonight our memories whisper softly in our hearts.

Join hands and hearts and voices --
Voices, hearts and hands.
At Kellerman's the friendships last long,
As the mountains stand

Daytime, nighttime, any hour -- whether rain or shine
Games and lectures, talks and music happily combine.

Not a stress or strain is found here, for it must be said:
Here at Kellerman's you gladened, stomach, heart and head

So lets join in just one last chorus --
Visitors, staff and guests.
What we've shared won't be forgotten,
Old friends are the best.

"Kellerman's Anthem" is based on a song titled "Annie Lisle", which is described by Wikipedia as follows:

"Annie Lisle" is the name of an 1857 ballad by Boston songwriter H. S. Thompson .... It is about the death of a young maiden, by what some have speculated to be tuberculosis, although the lyric does not explicitly mention tuberculosis, or "consumption" as it was called then.

The song might have slipped into obscurity had the tune not been adopted by countless colleges, universities, and high schools worldwide as their respective alma mater songs.

The first college to have used the tune in a spirit song seems to have been Cornell University. In 1870, students Archibald Weeks and Wilmot Smith wrote "Far Above Cayuga's Waters" and used an adaptation of Thompson's melody.

Many other colleges and high schools, likely influenced by Cornell's version, have since created their own renditions. ... Some others include: [a list of more than 200 colleges]

Lyrics

Down where the waving willows 'neath the sunbeams smile,
Shadowed o’er the murmring waters dwelt sweet Annie Lisle --
Pure as the forest lily, never thought of guile.
Had its home within the bosom of sweet Annie Lisle.

Wave willows, murmur waters, golden sunbeams, smile!
Earthly music cannot waken lovely Annie Lisle.
Sweet came the hallowed chiming of the Sabbath bell,
Borne on the morning breezes down the woody dell.

On a bed of pain and anguish lay dear Annie Lisle,
Changed were the lovely features, gone the happy smile.

Raise me in your arms, O Mother, let me once more look
On the green and waving willows and the flowing brook.

Hark! the sound of angel music from the choirs above!
Dearest mother, I am going. Surely, God is love."
