Here, look in my garden bed —
Something beautiful is growing!
Bright shaped like a cup of red
Tulips open to the sun!
Last night it was small and green,
flame-like now it is a-growing,
This one is the first I’ve seen,
Now sweet weather has begun!
— a song we used to sing in girl scouts

Yeah, Spring! 🙂
Thank you for blogging this!
We learned it in 1st or 2nd grade. I’m 71 now and it suddenly came to mind. The only thing different is that the first words were, “Come, look in the garden bed.”
Thank you for confirming that my memory still functions.
Hi, I remember singing this in 2nd grade, in the 60’s.
As a mother I have always sung it to my children, too.
A few words here and there are different and the end was just a repeat of the first verses ending.

Tulip open to the sun!
I have always loved this little song. Wish I knew who the original author was!
Thanks for sharing it 🙂
