Alma Mater

Sheltered by the Catskill Mountains
In a vale so fair, 
Stands our college so well beloved 
By the Delaware. 
 
Chorus 
Delhi, hail our Alma Mater 
May we strive to learn,
Through our time and ever after
Longing to return.
 
When we leave to start life’s journey
Our sweet memories
Will recall the joyous hours,
We have spent with thee. 
 
Chorus
Delhi, hail our Alma Mater 
Sing to thee our praise
With our knowledge as an ally
Ever through our days
