Wandrers Nachtlied II Wayfarer's Night Song II
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Prose Translation
by Hyde Flippo

Über allen Gipfeln Over all the hilltops
Ist Ruh, is calm.
In allen Wipfeln In all the treetops
Spürest du you feel
Kaum einen Hauch; hardly a breath of air.
Die Vögelein schweigen in Walde. The little birds fall silent in the woods.
Warte nur, balde Just wait... soon
Ruhest du auch. you'll also be at rest.

You And Spring

 
holding hands,
in spring you come-
there is sweetness.
There is rebirth,
there is flame,
and there is witty game,
The beauty of you
and her (spring)
individually blend,
hand in hand,
with spring,
you went.

Delightful Lyrics by Bryker Woods Elementary School First Graders, 1999-2000...



This school is your school,
This school is my school,
From music room risers
To the classroom fountains,
From the nurse's office to the cafeteria,
This school was made for you and me.

        ----- Trenton Goodwin

Take me out to the playground,
Take me out to the kids,
Buy me a glue stick and protractor
Mr. Thompson is the big cheese,
For let's learn, learn, learn all day long
and if we don't we'll make bad grades
Well, there's B's, C's, and F's strike you out
of the fun for today.

No More... by Kritika Phillip Yadav

 




When lost in the dark you can't find your way,
No more I can walk with you but will be the moon of a full moon day.
When stuck in a storm you can't see,
No more I can hold your hand but will be the dimly lightened lee.

Cause now you can't see me ever,
No more we could be together,
No more we could be together
No more No more No more........

When your anger drives you mad & you wanna shout,
No more I can listen to you but will be the cool breeze to blow it out.
When you feel exhausted & dull like an autumn's tree,
No more I can cheer you up but will be the falling rain to make you feel light & free.

Cause now you can't see me ever,
No more we could be together,
No more we could be together
No more No more No more........

When your heart aches & shedding tears you cry,
No more I can wipe it but will be the soft wind to get it dry.
When you are over the moon or on cloud nine,
No more I can cheers with you but will be your glass of wine.

Cause now you can't see me ever,
No more we could be together,
No more we could be together
No more No more No more........

Cause my feelings for you are so true,
My soul will always follow you.
So don't be low even at the high tide,
Cause I will be there always by your side.
Though no more we could be together,
No more No more No more........

BLESSINGS ARE BIRTHDAYS by Michelle Ramprasad Federle

 


HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Blessings are the birthdays
Reminders of God's grace
Showered on the earth's face
Displayed in many ways

Blessings are the birthdays
Wrapped in silk and lace
Generous gift to embrace
In given time and place

Blessings are the birthdays
Soaked in warmth of sun's rays
Marking the moment to trace
In depths of life's beautiful vase


Blessings are the birthdays
folded in the basket of love,
Happy 20th Birthday, Christopher Wu,
Happy 85th Birthday, Thomas Boone Pickens!
