The poem discusses seeking truth and peace through following Buddha's teachings. It expresses how Buddha found the holy way to lead from night to endless day. It asks when humanity will find the road to peace and when strife and hatred will cease. It states that profound peace and the sublime, divine law that leads to peace can be found in Buddha's holy law.

2. Long have we sought for Truth’s Bright Light,
Long have we wandered in the night?

3. Lord Buddha hath found the Holy Way
That leads from night to Endless Day.

4. When shall we find the road to peace,
When earthly strife and hatred cease?

5. O weary soul that peace profound,
In Buddha’s Holy Law is found,

6. Where shall we learn that Law sublime,
Which leads us on to peace divine?

7. To Buddha’s Holy Law we turn,
The path of Truth and Peace to learn.

8. Why must we wonder many a year,
In pain and misery and fear?
Why must we wander many a year,
In pain and misery and fear?

9. The Eightfold Path of wondrous wealth,
Is hidden by the love of self.

10. And must we pray that we may find,
The strength to break the chains that bind?

11. By each one must the race be run,
And not by prayer is freedom won.

12. Whence comes the suffering of this life,
How can we end our state of strife?

13. By Buddha’s Law is justice known,
For each must reap what each has sown.

14. With love that never more shall wane,
We’ll praise Lord Buddha’s Holy Name,

15. And in the Dharma’s Noble way,
We’ll reach Nirvana’s Endless Day.

16. The End
May we keep striving on in the Middle Way,
To attain the bliss of everlasting day.
