Something told the wild geese
It was time to go.
Though the fields lay golden,
Something whispered, “snow.”

Leaves were green and stirring,
Berries, luster-glossed,
But beneath warm feathers,
Something cautioned, “frost.”

So fly, bird, fly.
Winter’s on the wing.
Goodbye, goodbye.
Come again next spring.

All the sagging orchards,
Steamed with amber spice,
But each wild bird stiffened,
At remembered ice.

Something told the wild geese
It was time to fly.
Summer in their mem’ry,
Winter in their cry.

So fly, bird, fly.
Winter’s on the wing.
Goodbye, goodbye.
Come again next spring.

Something told the wild geese
It was time to go.
Something whispered, “snow.”
