Young Men And Women, Strong And Sound

Topics: classic

Young men and women, strong and sound,     Adorn with beautiful excess     Of play and song and flower-dress     Our fatherland's ancestral ground.     They dream great deeds of ages older,     They long to lead to battles bolder.     Young men and women, strong and sound,     Our nation's honor are, in whom     Our whole life has its better bloom,     Rebirth upon our fathers' ground     Of them of yore. Anew there flower     The old in young folks' summer-power.     Young men and women, strong and sound,     Can doubly do our deeds and fill     With higher hope for all we will, -     Are growth in character's deep ground,     To larger life drawn by the spirit     They from our forefathers inherit.
