1. Tell troubles coming to you from me that I
In troubles have determination like the edge of an Indian sword

2. Unshaken by any misfortune that has struck
Nor perplexed by any difficult matter

3. It meets troubles when their horrors thicken
With patience until they subside and clear away

4. Misfortunes shy away from it when they expose
A heart steadfast in purpose and resolute

5. It has experienced days until their familiarity
Shows it the hidden future of the past
