Indeed

To you who now so nobly do

A noble deed;

Who now instill the virtues true

To virtuous need;

Whose mission is so truly good—

So full of kindly brotherhood—

Who live the life you surely should—

A trusty lead;

Who early saw that skillful head

And skillful hands

Should, surely, be in union wed

‘Gainst life’s quicksands—

For people whose unhappy state

Was, surely, in the hands of fate,

Would make a combination great

As iron hands.

Long may your daring presence live

And works instill,

Long may your kingly reasons give

A forceful will.

Long may your glowing, useful days

Shine forth their bright illuming rays,

And to gloomy lives always

A happy thrill.
