- Hush! Fire's Burning
- (source: "Campfire Activities",
Girl Guides of Canada, 1993.)
(spoken, not sung)
Hush! Let all be still...
- Listen to the sounds of the night.
- The gentle rustling of leaves
- And the dying wind.
- The faraway lap of waves on the shore,
- The hum of insects,
- The whispers of friends.
- The crackle of the fire
- Which calls us to sing...
(begin the song "Fire's Burning" or other appropriate
opening
song)
