The beauty of the sound, the beauty of the sound -
the sound of water running with the desert all around.

The insects lay their eggs in spring; their larvae eat the muck.

Their leaves turn pretty colors; they lose them in the fall.
The hawks nest in the trees. The hawks nest in the trees.
The willow and the primrose flowers attract the hungry bees.
