After you listen
THE Song Of The World`s Last Whale
By Pete Seeger
I heard the song of the world`s last whale,
As I rocked in the moonlight and reefed the sail
It`ll happen to you also without fail,
If it happens to me-sang the song of the world`s last whale

It was down off Bermuda, early last spring
Near an underwater mountain where the humpbacks sing
I lowered the microphone a quarter mile down
Switched on the recorder and let the tape spin round

I didn`t just hear grunting; I didn`t just hear squeaks
I didn`t just hear bellows; I didn`t just hear shrieks
It was the musical singing and the passionate wail
That came from the heart of the world`s whale

Down in the Antarctic, the harpoons wait
But it`s up on the land, they decide my fate
In London town, they`ll be telling the tale
If it`s life or death for the world`s last whale.

Write a short paragraph (within 100 words) about whales .
