Lyrics
The harvest of life
is character,
and it is this
that determines destiny,
both for this life
and for the life to come.
Strength of character
Consists of two things—
Power of will
And power of self-control
The harvest is a reproduction
of the seed sown.
Every seed yields fruit
after its kind.
So it is with the traits of character we cherish.
Selfishness, self-love,
self-esteem, self-indulgence,
reproduce themselves;
and the end
is wretchedness and ruin.
Strength of character
Consists of two things—
Power of will
And power of self-control
