Tap to Place the Letters

With heart-shaped leaves, it offers its shade,
A quiet retreat where honey is made.
Its flowers bloom sweetly, a nectar-filled tease,
What is it, a tree that brings peace?

Chorus:
Oh Linden, keeper of the hush,
You bloom when days are warm and lush.
You hum with bees when summer sings,
And shade the world with leafy wings.

Verse:
You bloom in July with golden charm,
A gentle song, a healing balm.
No thorns, no flames — just steady peace,
A lullaby the leaves release.
The rain has left a fragrant trace,
Your bloom perfumes the silent space.
It draws us close, we hum and glide —
A bee reborn, with bee's wings wide.

The children laugh beneath your limbs,
Their voices soft like playful hymns.
A picnic spreads beneath your shade,
Where tea and honey treats are laid.
You hold the breeze, you tame the sun,
You end the week before it’s begun.
And every summer that you see,
You stand — a whisper, kind and free.

Chorus:
Oh Linden, keeper of the hush,
You bloom when days are warm and lush.
You hum with bees when summer sings,
And shade the world with leafy wings.
