| Your father thought the thoughts of youth | B |
| And heard the words that one by one | A |
| The touch of Life has turned to truth | B |
| Here in a day that is not far | C |
| You too may speak with noble ghosts | D |
| Of manhood and the vows of war | E |
| You made before the Lord of Hosts | D |

| Of the great fellowship you're free | L |
| Henceforth the School and you are one | A |
| And what You are the race shall be | L |

| God send you fortune yet be sure | M |
| Among the lights that gleam and pass | N |

| Than that which glows on yonder brass | N |
| Qui procul hinc the legend's writ | O |
| The frontier grave is far away | P |
| Qui ante diem periit | O |
| Sed miles sed pro patria | M |
