    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.
