Frog song by Maggie Furtak — Lyrics
The spring rains have come,
Raindrops echo,
The spring rains greet the earth again,
The heron stalks the reeds again,
By the pond each silver stalk glistens,
In the great, green night each stone listens,
World, wake, spring's born again,
Starlight turns slowly above us,
The spring rains have come,
New stems lift,
Meadows shout!
Spring's born again,
Sleepers, wake, shout!
Water walking,
World, wake and shout!
In the shallows silver fins, flashing,
The grey owl hunts on silent wings,
Starlight wheels, the moon is calling,
Fields, wake, shout!
A new world is born,
Each voice is singing,

About Frog song
A joyous celebration of spring's arrival, Frog Song by Maggie Furtak is a setting of evocative English poetry for SATB choir. The text describes the natural world awakening after the rains, with imagery of glistening reeds, the moon, and the sounds of nature. The music would suit a concert programme or a special occasion celebrating nature or new beginnings. The composer captures the vibrant energy of the season, urging the world to wake and sing.
