Little Garden Gnomes

The Gnome

by Margaret Morgan



Deep down he goes, the little gnome,

Deep down into his earthy home.

Deep Down among the roots he lives;

Such help to all the plants he gives.



He helps the seed to split its skin;

He helps the roots to settle in;

He helps the shoots to stand upright

And grow to reach the warm sunlight.



Sometimes he comes above the ground;

Sometimes his footprints
