Activity 2

Listen the 9th song from Chapter 9

Old, strange and old
Are the trees
In this great wood.
Roots run deep
In the soil,
Drawing strength
From the Mother,
The Earth.

Silent trees,
Ancient trees
Filled with the magic,
Of the Earth.
In these trees
Lie the blessings
Of the forest.

These are the blessings,
The blessings of the wood.

-- The forest spirits
