As I walked in the forest,
The sun in the sky sank low.
The trees trembled with fear of the dark,
So the fireflies began to glow.
As I walked in the forest,
The wind blew fast and cold.
The ground shivered and shook with frost,
So the leaves
Fashioned a blanket of gold.
As I walked in the forest,
The sleepy birds ceased to sing.
The branches needed music to dance,
So the crickets sang songs of spring.
As I walked in the forest,
The bears were counting sheep.
But their eyes wouldn’t close,
So all the wolves rose,
And howled
To lull them to sleep.
As I walked in the forest,
The ground was covered with dew.
The grass was not pleased,
And the sun heard his pleas,
So she rose
And the sky grew blue.
