Play while reading. Think of the thunder as fireworks!
In summer, nature sings her grandest song
For many voices cry resounding calls
The crickets, frogs, and birds all sing along
Their music rivals those in concert halls.
🇺🇸
And people add to summer's raucous noise
With concerts in the park, and party sounds
And boistrous laughter made by girls and boys
Will demonstrate to all that joy abounds.
🇺🇸
Then whistles forecast animated cheers
And loud explosions pierce the summer sky
Those sensitive to sound will shield their ears,
As fireworks make thunder from up high.
🇺🇸
The summer music fades and falls away,
Until next year, on Independence Day.
