Shining like a silver star
My lantern, my lantern.

We can not see them in the ice and snow.
Deep deep down in the mud they lie,
Rabbits sleeping with tight closed eyes.

To dance by the light of the moon?
“In soft morning light”
“In soft morning light”
Art by Margaret Tarrant
In soft morning light, the stars fade away.
The birds soon awake. This is a new day.
Awake, awake, shine like the sun.
Give light and love to everyone.
Down is the earth, up is the sky.
There are my friends, and here am I.
Good morning to you, and good morning to me.
“I Caught a Fish Alive”
“I Caught a Fish Alive”
Illustrator unknown
One, two, three, four, five,
Once I caught a fish alive,
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
But I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
The little finger on the right.
“In the Morning”
“In the Morning”
Art by Margaret Tarrant
In the morning, the sun wakes up everyone,
Then he rises high above to share his love.
And at night, the sun sets
And we too go to our beds.
“The Sun is in My Heart”
“The Sun is in My Heart”
The sun is in my heart,
He (she) warms me with his (her) power.
And wakens life and love
In bird and beast and flower.
On the earth I stand upright
With joy I greet the morning sun
Who shines with love on every one
Who shines in the sky, on the land and sea,
And who fills me with light
When he (she) shines on me.
Good morning to you
And good morning to me.

And fly, fly, fly all day long.
And at night, I go to rest,
And sleep, sleep, sleep in my little nest.

“In the Heart of a Seed”
Art by Jacob L’Admiral’s
In the heart of a seed, Buried deep so deep,
A dear little plant Lay fast asleep.
Wake, said the sun, And creep to the light.
Wake, said the voice Of the raindrops bright.
The little plant heard, And arose to see
What the wonderful outside might be.
