WILD GEESE, by                    
First Line: The wild white geese fly over
Last Line: That now I scarcely know.
Subject(s): Geese


The wild white geese fly over
With strange and eerie cry,
And seem but dream shapes ghostly
Against a windy sky.

My thoughts go backward faring
To long and long ago,
And all youth's dreams are phantoms
That now I scarcely know.
