Today you must keep silent
And carry on every task
Only your ears must be lent
And no question you must ask
No occasion will arise to repent
When you wear silence as a mask
Follow this rule without any break
Will flow peace healing heart-ache
Will glow heart when calmness you take
Never give up your calm attitude
Criticize none at all while living
You will prove to be shrewd
If words you are not wrongly giving,
Let this oath be for ever continued
As you need not require others' forgiving.
