More graceful than the gliding swan,
upon the shining lake.
More precious than glimmering diamonds,
lying upon the sand.
Known beyond the famous name,
Imprinted in cement.
This simple sound of orchestration,
upon the smallest ears,
brings to life a jubilation,
lasting for many years.
The song?
A ponderer may ask.
Is that of tiny tots
Singing the alphabet.
