Agnus Og (The Spirit of Youth)

H. Cowell

I am the spirit of youth

I am here!

I am making the grass grow feet

I am making the buds sprout upon the branches of the trees

I am making the fern fronds open,

Here in the shade.

Let my spirit be waking deep in your hearts,

Let my song be singing high in your minds

I am the spirit of growth

With my mantle of green

Listen to my song singing upon the hill and the plain.
