| Now has rich time brought you a gift of gold | B |
| A long sweet year which you can shape at will | C |
| And deck with roses warm or with the chill | C |
| And heartless lilies GOD gives strength to mould | B |
| Our days and lives with fingers firm and bold | B |
| And make them noble straight and clean from ill | C |
| Though few are willing and their years they fill | C |
| With dross which they regret when they are old | B |

| What splendid hours of your life are these | D |
| When youth and childhood wander hand in hand | E |
| And give you freely all which best can please | D |
| Laughter and friends and dreams of Fairyland | E |
| Mourn not the seasons past with useless tears | F |
| But greet the pleasure of the coming years | G |
