Language Through Nature 



Lesson 125 



WILD GEESE 



THE wind blows, the sun shines, the birds sing 

 loud, 

 The blue, blue sky is flecked with fleecy dappled 



cloud, 

 Over earth's rejoicing fields the children dance and 



sing, 



And the frogs pipe in chorus, 'Tt is spring! It is 

 spring !" 



The grass comes, the flower laughs where lately 



lay the snow, 



O'er the breezy hill-top hoarsely calls the crow, 

 By the flowing river the alder catkins swing, 

 And the sweet song sparrow cries, " Spring! It is 



spring!" 



Hark, what a clamor goes winging through the 



sky ! 

 Look, children ! Listen to the sound so wild and 



high ! 



Like a peal of broken bells, kling, klang, kling,- 

 Far and high the wild geese cry, " Spring! It is 



spring!"
