The Sounds of the Night Morgan Harris Green
Morgan Harris Green

The sound so beautifulYet cold insideCleela, Cleela,The crickets chirp.Ooo 0000 whoo whooThe owls’ almostSilentYet shuddering sound.

The cast of theWhispering windSends the darkBlanketThe stillnessThe coolness of the night.Whisp win whisp winThe night has comeagain.
