The dreams of love and truth;The longing after something's lost, The spirit's yearning cry,

The striving after better hopes—These things can never die. The timid hand stretched forth to aid
为了更美好的梦想而奋斗着——这些美好不会消逝。 羞怯地伸出援助的手。
A brother in his need, A kindly word in grief's dark hour That proves a friend indeed;
在你的兄弟需要的时候, 伤痛、困难的时候,一句亲切的话 就足以证明朋友的真心;
The plea for mercy softly breathed, When justice threatens nigh,

Must find some work to do;Lose not a chance to waken love- Be firm,and just ,and true;

So shall a light that cannot fade Beam on thee from on high.

And angel voices say to thee—These things shall never die.
