Sea Song

Sea Song

I found a shell, a curly one,

Lying on the sand,

I picked it up and took it home,

Cold inside my hand.

Mummy looked at it and then

She held it to my ear,

And from the shell there came a song,

Soft and sweet and clear.

I was surprised – I listened hard,

But it was really true.

I wish you’d find a nice big shell

And hear it singing too!

New words

shell, held, surprised, curly, clear
