To think of life as school,
And try my best
To stand each test,
And do my work,
And nothing shirk.

This dullard head of mine,
Should I be sad?
I will be glad.
To do my best
Is Thy behest.
Some day the bell will sound,
Some day my heart will bound,
As with a shout
That school is out
And lessons done,
I homeward run.”
