Lyrics
(Melody by Ernst Schmid, Lyrics by Katie Louise Brown, publ. 1921)
1. The sunbeams are twinkling, The air soft and free
Is telling a message to you and to me.
Come out! Come out! We’re planting a tree.
Come out! Come out! We’re planting a tree.
2. Though now it is slender, No taller than I,
It soon will be growing straight up to the sky.
A tree! A tree! That touches the sky.
A tree! A tree! That touches the sky.
