Across a tranquil sky, Where scattered clouds hang low, The honking geese ride by Into the sunset's glow. Where scattered clouds hang low. Over the town they fly. Into the sunset's glow I hear their raucous cry. Over the town they fly, Grey geese upon the wing, -- I hear their raucous cry ... Killdeers and plovers sing. Grey geese upon the wing Into the saffron night. Killdeers and plovers sing, Seeking a sheltered site. Into the saffron night The honking geese ride by, Seeking a sheltered site Across a tranquil sky. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BRICKLAYER LOVE by CARL SANDBURG TO A CHAMELEON by MARIANNE MOORE THE SEASONS: A HYMN by JAMES THOMSON (1700-1748) BRONZE TRUMPETS AND SEA WATER; ON TURNING LATIN VERSE INTO ENGLISH by ELINOR WYLIE THE IRISH MOTHER'S LAMENT by CECIL FRANCES ALEXANDER LAURENCE BLOOMFIELD IN IRELAND: 2.
