OLD AGE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I have heard the wild geese
Last Line: And the wind, its seer.
Subject(s): Autumn; Seasons; Fall


I have heard the wild geese,
I have seen the leaves fall,
There was frost last night
On the garden wall.
It is gone to-day
And I hear the wind call.
The wind? . . . That is all.

If the swallow will light
When the evening is near;
If the crane will not scream
Like a soul in fear;
I will think no more
Of the dying year,
And the wind, its seer.
