For long long years I stood to see
How invigorated men of God could be
How gallant sons of soil behold their pride
How life and death go side by side
I saw the trainers in their sheer dedication
In starchy dress in brilliant fashion
Melodious songs of boots and hoofs
Crossing the edges of the reddish roofs
The cadets will, to touch the edge of eternity
I saw their pride I salute to thee
Flames of love kindled in their soul
Unity of action remains their goal
I depart but my soul remains
In the breath in Academy'soul
