"When All The World Is Young" lyrics - DONOVAN

Young leaf green, so softly shining
Quartz of emerald, agate, jade
Rings of coral, beams of lapis
And of alabaster made

When all the world is young
And the secret dance has just begun
And the songs of courting are sung
When all the world is young

Cloudless blue and dazing yellow
Clotted cream and orange-red
Touch of turquoise, flash of scarlet
Costumed sylvan dance I led

When all the world is young
And the secret dance has just begun
And the songs of courting are sung
When all the world is young

Brazen girdle, waist encircling
Set with dark carnelian
Copper crown about my temple
Green chrysolite there laden

When all the world is young
And the secret dance has just begun
And the songs of courting are sung
When all the world is young

Young leaf green, so softly shining
Quartz of emerald, agate, jade
Rings of coral, beams of lapis
And of alabaster made

When all the world is young
And the secret dance has just begun
And the songs of courting are sung
When all the world is young
And the secret dance has just begun
And the songs of courting are sung
When all the world is young
And the secret dance has just begun
And the songs of courting are sung
When all the world is young
