Big clouds amass above the peaks
amid the trees, the air is cool.
Class days are winding down this week
watch them cavort around the school.
Clouds creep, hiding the sun's hot rays
amid the trees the air is cool.
Recess goes long this last full day,
watch them cavort around the school.
Nine boys at play, the girls away
amid the trees the air is cool.
It is bo-peep the girls all play
Watch them cavort around the school.
Fields are awash with wildflowers
amid the trees the air is cool.
Play winds down while counting the hours,
watch them cavort around the school.
