Explore "Celestial Sounds" by O. Henry on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
With three men on the bases, / And one to tie the score, / The batter rubs sand on his hands, / The runners play off more.
He hits a home run o'er the fence, / The air is full of cheers; / The sharp crack of the ball and bat / Is music of the spheres.
(_Houston Daily Post_, Sunday morning, April 26, 1896.)
