May Morning by Cincinnati Waldorf Songbook
As we welcome the spring season, with gratitude for the promised fulfilled of new life and abundance, we turn to this delightful collection of songs, dainty and light-filled as the flowers that bloom around us.
"My lady spring is dressed in green,
She wears a primrose crown.
And all the baby buds and twigs
Are clinging to her gown.
The sun shines when she laughs at all,
And when she cries, the raindrops fall.
My lady spring, my lady spring!"

These Cincinnati Waldorf School community songs are woven into lively lessons with our students, and are shared joyfully among our broader community of families with weekly morning singing and with our seasonal festivals. This music streams from many different sources, and much of it is adapted orally, over time, ever-evolving with the folks who give life to the song.
