THE WILD GEESE COME OVER NO MORE, by CALE YOUNG RICE Poet's Biography First Line: The wild geese come over no more Last Line: Memory, care, and rue. Subject(s): Geese; Hearts; Memory; Youth | ||||||||
The wild geese come over no more As when I was a boy With their high sweet honking That lifts the heart with joy. Their chill aery paths are changed, The lake awaits in vain For a tired wing to drop to it And rise at dawn again. The wild thoughts of my high youth Have left my heart too -- Driven away by the hard huntsmen, Memory, care, and rue. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BETWEEN THE WARS by ROBERT HASS THE GOLDEN SHOVEL by TERRANCE HAYES ALONG WITH YOUTH by ERNEST HEMINGWAY THE BLACK RIVIERA by MARK JARMAN A CHARM TO BRING CHILDREN (EGYPT, A.D. 100) by CALE YOUNG RICE |
