Introduction verse for 2008/2009 Semester 2
The sun is in my heart,
He warms me with his 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 shines on me.
Good morning to you
And good morning to me.

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 Enormous Turnip
…
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 up. The sky is blue.'
He says: 'I want to plant the turnip seeds.'
…
I dig,
dig, dig, And I plant some seeds.
I rake, rake, rake, And I pull some weeds.
I wait and watch. And soon I know,
My
garden sprouts And starts to grow.
…
I dig, dig, dig I dig a hole.
I drop, drop, drop I drop the seeds.
…
'It
is raining,' say the turnip seeds.
They are happy. They sing.
…
Rain, rain. Drop, drop, drop.
We get bigger.
Up, up, up.
…
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.
…
'Look at me! I am tall,' says turnip 1.
'I am very tall,' says
turnip 2.
'I am very, very tall,' says turnip 3.
'No, look at me! I am enormous!' says turnip 4.
'Wow!' shouts the
old man.
'What an enormous turnip! I want to eat it for dinner.'
The old man, the old lady, the little boy, the little
girl, the big dog and the fat cat pull up, down, right, left but they can't pull up the enormous turnip.
The fat cat looks
for help.
…
'Hello, tiny mouse, she says. Come here, please.'
They all pull up and out pops the enormous turnip!
'Hurray!'
They shout.
They all sit down for an enormous turnip dinner.
'Yum! Yum! What a tasty turnip!'
…
Ring around
the rosies. A pocket full of posies.
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.
…
All creatures rejoice and the people
on Earth
Sing Spring is coming and Springtime is here.
…
Spring has arrived. Spring has arrived. Where has
it arrived?
Arrived in the mountains. Arrived in the valleys. Arrived in my own town.
Flowers are blooming. Flowers
are blooming. Where are they blooming?
Blooming in the mountains. Blooming in the valleys. Blooming in my own town.
Birds
are singing. Birds are singing. Where are they singing?
Singing in the mountains. Singing in the valleys. Singing in my
own town.

AnXinBan Goldilocks
The Story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears
Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Goldilocks. She went for a walk in the
forest. Pretty soon, she came upon a house. She knocked and, when no one answered, she walked right in.
At
the table in the kitchen, there were three bowls of porridge. Goldilocks was hungry. She tasted the porridge from the
first bowl.
"This porridge is too hot!" she exclaimed.
So, she tasted the porridge from the second bowl.
"This porridge is too cold," she said
So, she tasted the last bowl of porridge.
"Ahhh, this porridge is just right," she said happily and she ate it all up.
After she'd eaten the three bears' breakfasts she decided she was feeling a little tired. So,
she walked into the living room where she saw three chairs. Goldilocks sat in the first chair to rest her feet.
"This chair is too big!" she exclaimed.
So she sat in the second chair.
"This chair is too big, too!" she whined.
So she tried the last and smallest chair.
"Ahhh, this chair is just right," she sighed. But just as she settled down into the chair to
rest, it broke into pieces!
Goldilocks was very tired by this time, so she went upstairs to the bedroom. She lay down in
the first bed, but it was too hard. Then she lay in the second bed, but it was too soft. Then she lay down in the third bed
and it was just right. Goldilocks fell asleep.
As she was sleeping, the three bears came home.
"Someone's been eating my porridge," growled the Papa bear.
"Someone's been eating my porridge," said the Mama bear.
"Someone's been eating my porridge and they ate it all up!" cried the Baby bear.
"Someone's been sitting in my chair," growled the Papa bear.
"Someone's been sitting in my chair," said the Mama bear.
"Someone's been sitting in my chair and they've broken it all to pieces," cried the Baby bear.
They
decided to look around some more and when they got upstairs to the bedroom, Papa bear growled, "Someone's been sleeping in
my bed,"
"Someone's been sleeping in my bed, too" said the Mama bear
"Someone's been sleeping in my bed and she's still there!" exclaimed Baby bear.
Just then, Goldilocks
woke up and saw the three bears. She screamed, "Help!" And she jumped up and ran out of the room. Goldilocks
ran down the stairs, opened the door, and ran away into the forest. And she never returned to the home of the three
bears.

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.

The winter now is over. April rains are past.
I know I heard this morning the cuckoo's song at last.
Cuckoo! Cuckoo! Oh, can't you hear it too ?
I know I heard this morning the cuckoo's song at last.

A little seed for me to sow,
A little earth to make it grow,
A little hole, a little pot,
A little wish and that is that,
A little sun, a little shower,
A little while and then a flower.
Sing through seasons page 9
A spade for a gardener, a rake and a hoe,
And you must have a wat'ring can to make the flowers grow.
You must take your little rake,
You must take your hoe, and weed the beds,
And seed the beds and watch the flowers grow.

Waldorf Songbook 1 Step we gaily
Step we gaily on we go
Heel for heel and toe for toe
Arm in arm and row on row
All for Marie's wedding
Over hills up and down
Myrtle green and bracken brown
Past the shielings through the town
All for Marie's wedding.
Waldorf Songbook 21
The golden sun is shining bright
The dew is off the field
To us it is our main delight
The fork and rake to wield
The pipe and tabor both shall play
The viols loudly ring
From morn till eve each summer day
As we go hay-making.
Waldorf Songbook page 14
Down in the valley
Where summer's laughing beam
Under the willow tree
Lights along the stream
Shepherds come driving
Their flocks and seek the pool
Plunging their sheep
In the sunny water cool.
Sing through the seasons page 46
Come for a run by the silver sea,
Come in the sunlight with me, with me,
The sands are beneatht he sky
More silver above them the seabirds fly.
Let us go running away together
All in the spray flying, windsighing weather.
The Whitsun Daisy Flower
…
Good morning when it's morning. Good night when it is night.
Good
evening when it's dark out. Good day when it is light.
Good morning to the sunshine. Good morning,
little morning white flower.
…
Once there was a little white
flower in the meadow.
Her name is ‘Daisy’. She wants to fly. She wants to run.
But she can not. Her roots grow into earth.
They hold her there.
One day she hears singing:
…
I see skies of blue..... clouds
of white
Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights
And I think
to myself .....what a wonderful world.
…
The daisy raises
her head and sees a bird / a white dove sitting on a branch above.
“Bird, bird!,”
says the little daisy,
”How beautiful you are. I am trapped here on the earth.
I
have no legs. I have no legs to run with. I have no wings.
I have no wings to run with. I have
no friends.
I have no friends to play with. I have nothing to do in the world.”
“No.
You are a flower”, says the dove.
"You are a child of Father Sun and Mother Earth,”
"You have to hold a gift, a golden treasure,
a tiny flame from Father
Sun.
You can share with the bees and butterflies.
Wait for me.
I will fetch it and bring it to you.”
The white dove flies into the sky.
…
How do you like to go up in a swing, up in the air so blue?
O, I
do think it is the pleasantest thing ever a child can do.
Up in the air and over the wall, till
I can see so wide,
Rivers and trees and cattle and all over the countryside.
Till
I look down on the garden green, down on the roof so brown,
Up in the air I go flying again,
up in the air and down!
…
Soon the dove returns. He is carrying
in his beak a tiny flame, a golden flame from Father Sun himself.
The dove gently lays the tiny
flame. Suddenly, the flower opens, shining, sparkling.
There appears a heart of brightest gold
among her petals. "Bees, bees! Butterflies, butterflies, Come to me! Come to me!".
…
Here is the beehive. Where are the bees ?
Hidden away where nobody
sees.
Watch out and you will see them coming out... 1..2..3..4..5..
…
At Whitsun, the flowers unfold, yellow, white and gold.
The wind
blows ever round and round,
Sending us the fire, holy flame of fire.
…
Spirits of fire, come to us! We will kindle a fire!
Spirits of fire,
come to us! We will kindle a fire!
We will kindle a fire, dance the magic circle round.
We
will kindle a fire, dance the magic circle round.
...
Let your hands so loudly clap, clap, clap,
Let your fingers loudly snap, snap, snap,
Then fold your arms and shut your eyes,
And quiet be.
