To Hate and Envy we have breathed defiance , Our hearts are laid on Love ' s most sacred altar ; Led by those twin fire-pillars , Truth and Science We cannot falter .
We will be workers in the field before ns With cheerfulness , nor deem the task a burden ; And when success , though small at times , sniiles , o ' er ufy Be that our guerdon .
