This poem is not written by either my husband or I. This is the Michigan Wolverine's Fight Song. My husband is a huge Wolverine fan, so I posted this here for him.

Go Blue!!!!
The Victors
Now for a cheer, they are here, triumphant!
Here they come with banners flying,
In stalwart step they're nighing,
With shouts of vict'ry crying,
We hurrah, hurrah, we greet you now, Hail!

Far we their praises sing
For the glory and fame they've brought us
Loud let the bells them ring
For here they come with banners flying
Far we their praises tell
For the glory and fame they've brought us
Loud let the bells them ring
For here they come with banners flying
Here they come, hurrah!

Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan
The leaders and best!
Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan,
The champions of the west!

We cheer them again,
We cheer and cheer again
For Michigan, we cheer for Michigan
We cheer with might and main
We cheer, cheer, cheer
With might and main we cheer!

Hail! to the victors valiant
Hail! to the conqu'ring heroes
Hail! Hail! to Michigan,
The champions of the west! "the yellow and blue"

Sing to the colors that float in the light,
Hurrah for the yellow and blue!
Yellow the stars as they ride through the night,
And reel in a rollicking crew,
Yellow the fields where ripens the grain,
And yellow the moon on the harvest wain;
Hail!
Hail to the colors that float in the light,
Hurrah for the yellow and blue!

Blue are the billows that bow to the son.
When yellow-robed morning is due.
Blue are the curtains that evening has spun
The slumbers of Phoebus to woo;
Blue are the blossoms to memory dear
And blue is the saphire and gleams like a tear;
Hail!
Hail to the ribbons that nature has spun;
Hurrah to the yellow and blue!

Here's to the college whose colors we wear,
Here's to the hearts that are true!
Here's to the maid of the golden hair,
And eyes that are brimming with blue!
Garlands of bluebells and maize intertwine,
And hearts that are true, and voices combine;
Hail!
Hail to the college whose colors we wear;
Hurrah fo the Yellow and Blue!
