Sounds by Dorothy M. Center

Listen - listen - across the land called Africa-For the birds are singing hereThe roar of the lioness - the whine of her cubsThe cry of the vultures - ever, ever circling there-Oh - see for milesNo tangled web of wiresEndless horizons spreadNo polluted mists - a view that will never tireListen - listen - across the land called AfricaThe sun goes down - birds settle in every treeThe hunt begins - endless for their preyFor these are the sounds of Africa - they keep Africa free
