Rhyme Scheme: ABBCDEDE FGGFHEHE IJJIGEGE| Ever to be the best To lead | A |
| In whatsoever things are true | B |
| Not stand among the halting crew | B |
| The faint of heart the feeble kneed | C |
| Who tarry for a certain sign | D |
| To make them follow with the rest | E |
| Oh let not their reproach be thine | D |
| But ever be the best | E |
| - | |
| For want of this aspiring soul | F |
| Great deeds on earth remain undone | G |
| But sharpened by the sight of one | G |
| Many shall press toward the goal | F |
| Thou running foremost of the throng | H |
| The fire of striving in thy breast | E |
| Shalt win although the race be long | H |
| And ever be the best | E |
| - | |
| And wilt thou question of the prize | I |
| 'Tis not of silver or of gold | J |
| Nor in applauses manifold | J |
| But hidden in the heart it lies | I |
| To know that but for thee not one | G |
| Had run the race or sought the quest | E |
| To know that thou hast ever done | G |
| And ever been the best | E |
