A Symphony of Trees

Trees make such exciting sounds.

They whisper when we’re near.

Whenever we pass by the trees,

This is what we hear:

We hear their branches sway and creak.

We hear the wind howl higher.

We hear a symphony of trees,

Of nature’s great, green choir.

We hear the squirrels scampering.

We hear the blue jays sing.

We hear the robin and the dove--

All sounds the trees can bring.

But one thing that we never hear

When we pass through the park;

We hear the trees’ sweet symphonies,

But we never hear their bark!
