'Nature's Song'

The sunset paints a beautiful backdrop
The raindrops provide the percussion
The wind supplies the whistling trees
And the harmony needs no discussion
The cricket's chirping begins at dusk
The songs of the frogs carry on
The symphony triumphs long into night
But it ceases prior to dawn
The beauty of nature is often forgotten
The songs of the night are not heard
The greatest orchestra has no conductor
Yet a blunder has never occurred
