LGPC HYMN
By: Esther B. Babalo

Here in the north, a vision soared,

That a college be born and grow,
And the youths that have been called,
will change the paths we go.

Make come true our treasured, golden dreams,

Train our ways - heart, hand, and mind,
Lead us forth to bright tomorrow,
With LGPC shine.

Out in the world, no fears remain,

Skilled and wise, we will conquer,
See thy labor not in vain,
Our Alma Mater, dear.

Out in the world, no fears remain,

Skilled and wise, we will conquer,
See thy labor not in vain,
Our Alma Mater, dear.

I Taught Myself to Live Simply

by Anna Akhmatova

I taught myself to live simply and wisely,

to look at the sky and pray to God,
and to wander long before evening
to tire my superfluous worries.
When the burdocks rustle in the ravine
and the yellow-red rowanberry cluster droops
I compose happy verses
about life's decay, decay and beauty.
I come back. The fluffy cat
licks my palm, purrs so sweetly
and the fire flares bright
on the saw-mill turret by the lake.
Only the cry of a stork landing on the roof
occasionally breaks the silence.
If you knock on my door
I may not even hear.
