UNBEWILDERED, by MARGARETTE BALL DICKSON First Line: Gray geese come honking from the north'...But led Last Line: A voice once spake in far off galilee. Subject(s): Geese; Migration | ||||||||
"Gray geese come honking from the North" ... but led By some gray gander, schooled by other flights; The storm may rage and buffet, but his head Is clear and cool in all those wind-swept heights. When but a fledgling, following other lead And listening to the trumpet call that came, He learned obedience, trust, unfaltering heed Of that clear voice, regardless of the tame And sheltered ducks in many a pond and lake Who honked an invitation to their reeds. And now he is a leader, for whose sake A newer generation dares great deeds. There was a first migration. ... by the Sea A Voice once spake in far off Galilee. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...27,000 MILES by ALBERT GOLDBARTH THE GREAT MIGRATION by MINNIE BRUCE PRATT TO A WATERFOWL by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS MIGRATION by PINKIE GORDON LANE A NEW YEAR'S SYMPHONY by MARGARETTE BALL DICKSON APPLES OF GOLD IN A NETWORK OF SILVER (FOR A FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY) by MARGARETTE BALL DICKSON |
