1. Into the sunshine,Full of the light,Leaping and flashingFrom morn till night;2. Into the moonlight,Whiter than snow,Waving so flower-likeWhen the winds blow;3. Into the starlight,Rushing in spray,Happy at midnight,Happy by day;4. Ever in motion,Blithesome and cheery,Still climbing heavenward,Never aweary;5. Glad of all weathers,Still seeming best,Upward or downwardMotion thy rest;6. Full of a natureNothing can tame,Changed every moment,Ever the same;7. Ceaseless aspiring,Ceaseless content,Darkness or sunshineThy element;8. Glorious fountain!Let my heart beFresh, changeful, constant,Upward, like thee!
