First Line: High on the hills in the morning
Last Line: Bow to the mandates of youth.
Subject(s): Life; Youth
High on the hills in the morning
Burning the incense of life,
Flinging the gage of battle
Where forces of death are rife—
Living the life as given,
Asking not whence nor why,
Ready to live while living,
Ready, if needed, to die—
High on the hills in the morning,
Eager for life and truth—
The sun and the moon and the stars
Bow to the mandates of youth.
