WILD GEESE by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS

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.
