member particularly, the sky and the air were 

 so clear and the geese so high in the blue. 



Over the fields and wide silent marshes such 

 passing is strange enough. But here I stood 

 above a sleeping city of men, and far above me, 

 so far that I could only hear them, holding their 

 northward way through the starlit sky, they 

 passed— whither? and how guided? Was the 

 shining dome of the State House a beacon ? Did 

 they mark the light at Marblehead?
