Analysis of Sounds Of The Night

Shirley Dorfner 1954 (Florida)



Crickets the sounds of the night.
Owls the sounds of the night.
Bull frogs the sounds of the night.
Bats the sounds of the night.
Lightning bugs the sounds of the night.
Nats the sounds of the night.
Mosquitoes the sounds of the night.
Werewolf the sounds of the night.
Vampire the sounds of the night
Nightmare the sounds of the night.
