The Song of Doves
Language: English 
Those summer voices linger
As footprints in our minds
Their well-remembered tones
In every breeze we hear.

Their summer voices linger
As laughter in the air
Those special little phrases
Imprinted in our minds.

These summer voices gather
As unified they turn
To soar above in harmony
The ancient song of doves.
