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!

7. Brave-seed true
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!
