How in life's breezy morning,
Here on life's sunny shore,
To all the powers of falsehood
We vow eternal war ;
Eternal hate to falsehood,
And then, as needs must be,
O Truth, O lady peerless,
Eternal love to thee.
All fair things that seem true things
Our hearts shall aye receive,
Not over quick to seize them,
Nor over loth to leave.
Not over loth or hasty,
To leave them or to seize,
Not eager still to wander,
Nor clinging still to ease.
But one vow links us ever
That whatso'er shall be,
Nor life nor death shall sever
Our souls, O Truth, from thee !
