Paddling my Canoe, Traditional Iroquois song (found in Sing through the Seasons: ninety-nine songs for children, compiled and edited by the Society of Brothers)
Gay-o way-o wa-ji-ne_ he-ya he,
Paddling my canoe
Gay-o way-o wa-ji-ne_
He-ya he-ya he,
Paddling my canoe,
Paddling my canoe.
(sing twice)
Sunflakes by Frank Asch
If sunlight fell like snowflakes,
gleaming yellow and so bright,
we could build a sunman,
we could have a sunball fight,
we could watch the sunflakes drifting in the sky.
We could go sleighing in the middle of July
through sundrifts and sunbanks,
we could ride a sunmobile,
and we could touch sunflakes—
I wonder how they'd feel.
