Representative Text

1 "Keep to the right," the law thus directs,
For such is the law of the road;
Keep to the right, whoever expects
Securely to carry Life's load;
Keep to the right with God and the world,
Nor wander, tho' folly allures,
Keep to the right, And never be hurl'd
From what by the statute is yours;
Keep to the right! Keep to the right!

2 Keep to the right within and without,
With stranger, and kindred, and friend;
Keep to the right, nor harbor a doubt
That all will be well in the end;
Keep to the right, whatever you do,
Nor claim but your own on the way,
Keep to the right, And stick to the true,
From morn to the close of the day;
Keep to the right! Keep to the right!
