Rainbow Round-and-Round

From Pip's Rainbow Song

Red and orange, yellow too,
Green and blue for me and you.
Purple heather, soft and bright,
Colours dancing in the light. Round and round the rainbow goes,
Through the meadow, tip to toes!

Twinkle in the Moss

From Daisy's Bedtime Lullaby

Twinkle in the moss, so deep,
Time for little friends to sleep.
Close your eyes and breathe so slow,
Mossbank meadow, soft and low. Twinkle, twinkle, mossy light,
Guard our dreams throughout the night.
