In the range of definitions of truth
I search that truth that will for good beat time
Let present become future, as time would
But that truth should hold good through any time
The mirror cannot but reflect all facts
Your eyes will reflect what your heart believes
You cannot shield long what your inside maps
For every little drop filters through sieves
All that’s required is to bear conscious true
And stick to facts no matter what some say
Till death befalls, to thine own self be true,
And it must follow as the night the day
Thou canst not then be false to any man
And to God you will answer as truth can
