Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEF GHIH JKL MNBNIf one proves weak who you fancied strong | A |
Or false who you fancied true | B |
Just ease the smart of your wounded heart | C |
By the thought that it is not you | B |
- | |
If many forget a promise made | D |
And your faith falls into the dust | E |
Then look meanwhile in your mirror and smile | F |
And say 'I am one to trust ' | - |
- | |
If you search in vain for an ageing face | G |
Unharrowed by fretful fears | H |
Then make right now and keep a vow | I |
To grow in grace with the years | H |

If you lose your faith in the word of man | J |
As you go from the port of youth | K |
Just say as you sail 'I will not fail | L |
To keep to the course of truth ' | - |
- | |
For this is the way and the only way | M |
At least so it seems to me | N |
IT IS UP TO YOU TO BE AND DO | B |
WHAT YOU LOOK FOR IN OTHERS SEE | N |
