| The Children of the Sun are prone | D |
| To sunlight play and pleasure | E |
| And sober minded mentors groan | D |
| And shake their beads and gravely moan | D |
| O'er all this love of leisure | E |
| This lust for sport and sun they say | F |
| Will surely bring its reckoning day | F |

| The Children of the Sun heed not | G |
| But laugh and gather vigor | E |
| Where summer days shine gold and hot | G |
| They bask in many a sylvan spot | G |
| To meet a new year's rigor | E |
| And who shall say they are not wise | H |
| Strength languishes when pleasure dies | H |

| The Children of the Sun but know | I |
| That while the sun is shining | J |
| And glad life beckons they must go | I |
| For souls too long akin to woe | I |
| Lost all thro' much repining | I |
| Rejuvenation bids them hence | K |
| Then who shall cry 'Improvidence' | K |
