Lives of great men all remind us We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of time- Footprints that, perhaps another Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwreck'd brother Seeing, shall take heart again.
Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labour and to wait.
