Through Education Our Motherland Receives

Light 

This poem proved that he valued education so much

that may give the power of the country to survive from any

forces in the struggles of societal freedom . Through

education, it creates the virtue of power to human race.This gives security and peace to the motherland as the

Filipinos would learn the sciences and arts as the basis to

calm down the life of the society. 

The vital breath of prudent Education

Instills a virtue of enchanting power;

She lifts the motherland to highest station

And endless dazzling glories on her shower.

And as the zephyr's gentle exhalation

Revives the matrix of the fragrant flower,

So education multiplies her gifts of grace;With prudent hand imparts them to the human race.

For her a mortal-man will gladly part

With all he has; will give his calm repose;

For her are born all science and all art,

That brows of men with laurel fair enclose.

As from the towering mountain's lofty heart

The purest current of the streamlet flows,

So education without stint or measure givesSecurity and peace to lands in which she lives.

Where Education reigns on lofty seat

Youth blossoms forth with vigor and agility;

He error subjugates with solid feet,

And is exalted by conceptions of nobility.

She breaks the neck of vice and its deceit;

Black crime turns pale at Her hostility;

The barbarous nations She knows how to tame,From savages creates heroic fame.

And as the spring doth sustenance bestow

On all the plants, on bushes in the mead,

Its placid plenty goes to overflow

And endlessly with lavish love to feed

The banks by which it wanders, gliding slow,

Supplying beauteous nature's every need;

So he who prudent Education doth procureThe towering heights of honor will secure. 

Karunungan at Bayan

 Ang Dunong ay isang mabisang biyaya,

 Buhay ng pag-asa na kahanga-hanga;

 Siyang nagtatampok sa sariling lupa nang kasilaw-silaw

 Sa tuktok ng walang hangang pagdakila;

 Sa halik-amihan

 Ang mga bulaklak ay nananariwa;

 Sa halik ng dunong nama’y nagdiriwa Ang patay mang loob at isip mulala.

 Sa hangad matuto ng Sangkatauhan

 Buhay man at palad ay napupuhunan;

 Sari-saring ganda at kababalaghang

 Pambunyi sa tao’y 

 Sa dunong na lahat ay ibinibigay;

 Katulad ng daloy

 Ng salaming tubig kung sa bundok mukal, Ang dunong ay siyang batis na dalisay

 Ng pagkatahimik ng alin mang bayan. 

 Sa bayang ang dunong ay iniuunlak

 Ang kabinataa’y malusog, mabulas;

 Sa tulong ng mga marangal na balak

Yaong wastong matwid

 Ang sa kamalia’y haring yumuyurak;

 Ang masamang hilig

 At ang kabuhungan sa kanya ay sindak; Mga bansang ganid ay nangaaamak

 At napagigiting kahit lahing hamak.

Tulad sa biyaya ng saganang batis

 Na sa halamana’t  pananim sa bukid

 Mabining nanalong at nakadidilig

 Saka walang sawa

 Sa kinaaagos sa pampang at gilid,

 Anupa’t  sa lupa

 Ay walang muntik mang ipinagkakait;Ganyan din and dunong at ningning ng isip,

 Kalat ng liwayway hangang himpapawid

From out his lips the water, crystal pure,

Of perfect virtue shall not cease to go.

With careful doctrines of his faith made sure,

The powers of evil he will overthrow,

Like foaming waves that never long endure,

But perish on the shore at every blow;

And from his good example other men shall learnTheir upward steps toward the heavenly paths to turn.

Within the breast of wretched humankind

She lights the living flame of goodness bright;

The hands of fiercest criminal doth bind;

And in those breasts will surely pour delight

Which seek her mystic benefits to find,

Those souls She sets aflame with love of right.

It is a noble fully-rounded EducationThat gives to life its surest consolation.

And as the mighty rock aloft may tower

Above the center of the stormy deep

In scorn of storm, or fierce Sou'wester's power,

Or fury of the waves that raging seep,

Until, their first mad hatred spent, they cower,

And, tired at last, subside and fall asleep, --

So he that takes wise Education by the hand,Invincible shall guide the reigns of motherland.

On sapphires shall his service be engraved,

A thousand honors to him by his land be granted:

For in their bosoms will his noble sons have saved

Luxuriant flowers his virtue had transplanted:

And by the love of goodness ever lived,

The lords and governors will see implanted

To endless days, the Christian Education,

Within their noble, faith-enrapture nation.

And as in early morning we behold

The ruby sun pour forth resplendent rays;

And lovely dawn her scarlet and her gold,

Her brilliant colors all about her sprays;

So skillful noble Teaching doth unfold

To living minds the joy of virtuous ways.

She offers our dear motherland the light

That leads us to immortal glory's height.

 Nunukal sa labi’y tubig na busilak

 Bulalakaw mandin na sa langit buhat,

 Ang matatalinong aral at panulat

 Na dulot ng dunong

 Sa buhay ng sama’y siyang umuutas,

 Kagaya ng along

 Sa mga pampangi’y nawawala’t  sukat, At ang taong diya’y nakapagmamalas

 May natutuhang matuwid na landas.

 Sa dibdib ng ating imbing katauhan

 Ang dunong ay alab ng kadakilaan;

 Ang kamay ng pusong ay tinatalian

 At tapat na aliw

 Ang sa mga puso ay iniluluhan,

 Lahat na ng lihim

 Na asal-dakila ay iniaalay;

 Kaya nga’t  ang dunong naganap sa dangal

 Ay masamyong dagta ng dakilang buhay.

 Katulad ng isang burol na mataas

 Na kahit iluwa ng along malakas,

 At kung salakayin ng bagyong habagat

 Pinapalibhasa

 Pati ng daluyong at poot ng dagat

 Hangang sa magsagwang

 Ito ang umurong, sumuko’t  maglubag;

Ganyan din ang dunong, sa wastong maghawak,

Timbulan ng bayang napapawakawak.

 Sa kinang at ningning ng mga nangyari

 Dapat na sa dunong ang baya’y magpuri,

 Sa dibdib ng kanyang anak na marami

 Dunong ang may hasik

 Ng magandang asal, at siyang may-iwi

 Ng manang pag-ibig,

 Sa gawang magaling sukdang maruhagi;

 Diyan makikita ng nangag-aapi Ang binyagang bayan at liping bayani.

Tulad sa umaga na gintong liwayway

 Ang isinasabog ng masayang araw,

 Mula sa bundukin ng Kasilangana’y 

 Masanghayang ngiti

 Ang sa Sansinukob ay kanyang patanaw;

Ganyan din ang laging

 Biyaya ng dunong sa Sangkatauhan,

 Biyayang maaanong maging puri’t  buhay Sa habang panahon nitong aking Bayan.
