And though hard be the task,
"Keep a stiff upper lip!"
Father, perfect my trust;
Let my spirit feel in death,
That her feet are firmly set
On the rock of a living faith!

Half meek and compliant;
Black eyes, with a wondrous, witching charm
To bring us good or to work us harm.

Even for the dear child Jesus’ sake.
