Agnus Og (The Spirit of Youth)
Language: English
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.
