TOUCH not the tempting cup, my boy,

Though urged by friend or foe;

Dare, when the tempter urges most,

Dare nobly say, No – no!

The joyous angel from on high

Shall tell your soul the reason why.

Touch not the tempting cup, my boy;

In righteousness be brave;

Take not the first, a single step,

Towards a drunkard’s grave;

The widow’s groan, the orphan’s sigh,

Shall tell your soul the reason why.
