SOMETHING..........

"The world is tired, the year is old, the wind goes shivering by..." -Sara Teasdale

SOMETHING TOLD THE WILD GEESE IT WAS TIME TO GO  by Rachel Field (1894-1942)

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".........

All the sagging orchards

Steamed with amber spice

But each wild breast stiffened

At remembered ice

Something told the wild geese

It was time to fly......

Summer sun

was on their wings

Winter in their cry..........................
