Lakeside Geese

They come for just one night, Sleep over ‘til next day. They must be off, first light. They’re weary from long flight But otherwise okay. They come for just one night. Soon all are huddled tight. Silent they know to stay. They must be off, first light. On last leg of their flight They’re keen to be away. They came for just one night. It's one impressive sight When all fly up same way. They set off at first light. They flock at the same height Beneath the clouds of grey. They came for just one night. They all fly off, first light.
