HONEYMOON FLIGHT, by                    
First Line: They're flying north to the arctic seas
Last Line: To the bridal shores on hudson's bay.
Subject(s): Ducks; Geese; Migration; Mallards; Drakes


They're flying north to the Arctic seas,
Endless lines of ducks and geese.
We hear them calling by day and night;
All of them on a honeymoon flight.

By the frozen sea they will woo and wed
And hatch their young in a Spartan bed
Of weeds and reeds, in the midnight sun;
For wooing and honeymoon soon are done.

We watch their flight with kindling eyes,
Fading from view in the northern skies.
The Lord of the Hunt will guide their way
To the bridal shores on Hudson's Bay.
