The bells ring
(cling, clang)
Feet dance
(tippity tap)
Voices sing
(hip hooray)
Hands clap
(slap, slap)
The streets cheer:
‘The war is over!’
My curtains draw
(swish, swash)
My clock clicks
(tick, tock)
My tears slip
(drip, drop)
My heart aches
(crash-break)
My brother won’t come home.
The war is over.
