First Line: Over march fields, the wild geese fly
Last Line: In a dying song.
Subject(s): March (month)
Over March fields, the wild geese fly.
Below a fantastic poplar stands
Lonely, against the morning sky
With gesturing hands.
Instinctively I formed a thought:
How a foolish, scraggy man was long
Singing of things most subtly wrought
In a dying song.
