I'd like to have a garden With a beech tree on the lawn; The little birds that lived there Would wake me up at dawn. And in the summer weather When all the leaves were green, I'd sit beneath the beach boughs And see the sky between. The Beech Tree

They are first when day's begun To tough the beams of morning sun, They are the last to hold the light When evening changes into night. And when a moon floats on the sky They hum a drowsy lullaby Of sleepy children long ago... Trees are the kindest things I know. Trees are the kindest things I know, They do no harm, they simply grow And spread a shade for sleepy cows, And gather birds among their bows. Trees They give us fruit in leaves above, And wood to make our houses of, And leaves to burn on Halloween And in the Spring new buds of green.

Five Busy Honey Bees Bzzzzzz! Bzzzzzz! Bzzzzzz! Bzzzzzz! Bzzzzzz! Five busy honey bees were resting in the sun. The first one said, "Let us have some fun." The second one said, "Where shall it be?"

The five little busy bees sang their buzzing tune, As they worked in the beehive all that afternoon.

I Saw a Ship A-Sailing I saw a ship a-sailing, A-sailing on the sea, And, oh! it was all laden, With pretty things for thee. There were comfits in the cabin, And apples in the hold; The sails were made of silk, And the masts were made of gold. The four-and-twenty sailors, That stood between the decks, Were four-and-twenty white mice With chains around their necks The captain was a duck, With a packet on his back; And when the ship began to move, The captain said, "Quack! quack!"

A Sunshiny Shower A Sunshiny shower, Won’t last half an hour Will wash in an hour Will stop in an hour.

Little Tommy Tittlemouse, Lived in a little house, He caught fishes, In other men's ditches. Tommy Tittlemouse

How cheerfully he seems to grin, How neatly spreads his claws, And welcomes little fishes in With gently smiling jaws! How doth the little crocodile Improve his shining tail, And pour the waters of the Nile On every golden scale! How doth the little crocodile

The Lady and the Crocodile She sailed away On a sunny summer day, On the back of a crocodile. "You see," said she, "He's as tame as tame can be, I'll ride him down the Nile." The croc winked his eye As she bade them all goodbye, Wearing a happy smile. At the end of the ride, The lady was inside, And the smile Was on the crocodile!

The lion and the unicorn, Were fighting for the crown. The lion beat the unicorn, And all around the town, Some gave them white bread, And some gave them brown. Some gave them plum cake, And sent them out of town. The Lion and the Unicorn

A swarm of bees in May, Is worth a load of hay. A swarm of bees in June, Is worth a silver spoon. A swarm of bees in July, Isn't worth a fly. Bees
