]]> Two soft white doves fly
They flash against the dark sky
The slaves pause to look
 
A whip cracks the air
A woman cries in great pain
Others blindly work
 
The moon gently shines
The doves flash brightly again
A sign of freedom
 
Harriet Tubman
"Moses is here," freedom’s near
The slaves are hopeful
 
The doves precede them
Each step closer to freedom
Canada is near  

by Lydia Guthrie (age 9, following listening to Odyssey tapes about the Underground Railroad)

]]> Come ye people
Gather round
A little king is sleeping sound
In the stable
On the hill
By the inn
And the old windmill
He lies in the manger
Where cows munch
And little lambs
What a happy bunch!
Follow that star
From the East
Faster! It is not too far
Hurry! Get on your way
Mary, Joseph and Jesus
Are waiting for you today 

by Lydia Guthrie (age 9, 2001)
