Desire for Youth

Ciel

Higher， higher， will we climb，

Up the mount of glory，

That our names may live through time

In our country's story;

Happy， when her welfare calls，

He who conquers， he who falls！

Deeper， deeper， let us toil[苦干]

In the mines of knowledge;

Nature's wealth and learning's spoil

Win from school and college;

Delve[鉆研] we there for richer gems

Than the stars of diadems[王冠].

Onward， onward， will we press

Through the path of duty;

Virtue is true happiness，

Excellence true beauty.

Minds are of supernal[超自然的] birth：

Let us make a heaven of earth.
