3. _ ___ The earth
is sure beneath my feet,
And see, upright I
stand.
The heavens arch
above my head,
And friends I have
to take my hands.

‘So along the
garden pathway, like a farmer sowing seeds’:
5. Inch by inch,
row by row
Someone help my
seeds to grow
Help to warm them
from below
And the sun come
shining down
Inch by inch, row
by row
Someone help my
seeds to grow!
- Welsh
song
6. Fiddle dee dee,
grasshoppers three
Grasshopper one,
jumps in the sun.
Grasshopper two,
known what to do.
Grasshopper three,
jumps up in glee.
Fiddle dee
dee!
Fiddle dee
dee!
Fiddle dee
dee!

How do you
do?
How do you
grow?
How do you
bloom?
Warm and round in
the ground,
Waiting for the
day.
Warm and round in
the ground,
Waiting for the
day.
I stretch, I
reach
to see the
spring
I stretch, I
reach
to see the
spring
I feel the light,
and I must rise.
I feel the light,
and I must rise.
To and fro, the
rain now flows;
My roots drink
deep,
Wake up from
sleep.
___ _ ___ Here I
stand in the sun,
Leaf and
flower,
Free in
air.
Now I’m
grown
On my
own.
Hello
there
Hello
there
Ages 7 - 8
In the woods I
grew to my size,
The size of the
violet under a tree;
Under a tree where
the sunlight shines,
Shines on my fine
petals five.
At five in the
morning did I bloom
Bloomed and looked
up - saw the Blue!
