| A very tiny thing | B |
| And yet within its golden band | A |
| A thousand memories cling | B |

| Aye thrice ten thousand memories cling | B |
| Of signal victories won | C |
| Enshrined within this little ring | B |
| Reward of duty done | C |

| And wear it with true grace | E |
| The tie that binds the kindred ties | D |
| Of friendship race to race | E |

| Yet ever will I cling | B |
| Within the gates of Paradise | F |
| This sacred little ring | B |
