Well, I hope you'll get some great suggestions here. I myself can't look right now because I'm off to prepare tomorrow's services, but, if you don't get anything you really like, I'll check in with a suggestion or two by tomorrow evening.
Frost's "Pasture Spring" or "The Pasture" (can't remember its exact title) has been set to music. An art song. Do you know it? But it still has lots of musical potential for other interpretations. I love that poem--love it, love it, love it!--because of the last line which feels so much like an invitation to life:
"You come, too."
And I don't mean to imply anything louche at all. Instead, I like the open-armed feeling of that line once you get to it.
However, I know elementary kids, and the poem may be too precious for today's tastes. Just as the butterfly song above is too precious for today's tastes. Fifth grade...that's where they kindof go nuts.
What age is this elementary chorus, by the way?
