Summer’s gone<br />
The leaves fell slowly<br />
The leaves fell slow-ly<br />
To the unforgiving ground<br />
To the un-for-giv-ing ground<br />
Too soon – summer’s gone!<br />
Too soon – sum-mer’s gone!
Snow melts.<br />
Suddenly, the village<br />
is full of children.
Green and speckled legs<br />
Hops on logs and lily-pads<br />
Splash in cool water
In a pouch I grow<br />
On a southern continent<br />
Strange creatures I know.
