THERE'S QUIET IN THE WOODS

There’s Quiet In The Woods

September

There’s quiet in the woods these days.

The songbirds have flown away.

Occasionally we hear a dee-dee from a Chickadee,

And then there’s a caw from a Crow, and a scree from a Jay,

But the rest have flown away.

Now and then we hear the rustle of fallen leaves,

And the chip of a startled Chipmunk,

As it rushes to hide.

But for the most part,

There’s quiet in the woods these days.
