Shoot up pines, Shoot up oaks,
Small and slender;
But how they grow tall and tough
To fame, and foster!
Sprout up seeds, spring up seedlings,
Small and slender;
But how they grow grand and green
To fame, and foster!
Hatch up nestlings, come up wings,
Small and slender;
But how they grow feathery and flying
To fame, and foster!
Form up drops, flow up streams,
Small and slender;
But how they grow vast and veering
To fame, and foster!
Born are babies, bred are youngs,
Small and slender;
But how they grow strongly human
To fame, and foster!
Mama wonders at herself how she's
Small and slender;
And like others, she swears to grow
To fame, and foster!!
