amid the depths of space,
the cosmic wonder from afar
within your minds embrace.

upon the art of countless living things;

as nature’s chorus sings.

within your little time;
the knowledge won, the wisdom sought,
the ornaments of rhyme.

and sense the wonder there;
the ceaseless thrust to noble goals
of life, more free and fair.
5 Ye earthborn children of a star
who seek and long and strive,
take humble pride in what you are:
be glad to be alive. Languages: English Tune Title: GREENVILLE
