New shoots from the earth,

the endurance of their long winter sleep is ended

Spring with its burgeoning grasses has come

Young shoots dotting the great earth, each on its

own throne at last, deep-rooted,

no more to know what it means to wither

Young shoots!

young shoots sprung from the earth!

Who has called forth your worthy selves?

Who on this great earth

has sent the winds of bliss and purity blowing

and with the blazing rays of the eternity-old sun set you

growing?

Challenge the discord of hope and despair

all forms of barbarism

take away the poison from the air

take away the poison from the water

take away the poison from the grain

pluck the evil talons from the atom

dispel the dark of ignorance from mankind!
