To love what is mine

Without claiming stake

To love what I am of

And that I may be bound–

Tethered to inconvenience

That I may serve toward

Such tasks without hesitation

That I may do so,

Especially when it is not easy

That I may do so,

And renew this vow in a year:

To love what is mine

Without claiming stake

To love what I am of

And that I may be bound.
