What I am I must become What I see I must try to find What I hear I must play music to What I touch I must leave alone I turn then to all reflections of myself In trees and sacred things That nature gives to me

Indian Childrenby Annette Wynne

Where we walk to school each dayIndian children used to play-All about our native land,Where the shops and houses stand.And the trees were very tall,And there were no streets at all,Not a church and not a steeple-Only woods and Indian people.Only wigwams on the ground,And at night bears prowling round-What a different place todayWhere we live and work and play!
