Autumn Evening
Listen to Jacqueline read her poem to some greylag geese.
What a racket! What a din!
The greylag geese are flying in.
Necks outstretched, they circle wide,
Skim low, then to the meadow glide.
The greylag geese are flying in.
Necks outstretched, they circle wide,
Skim low, then to the meadow glide.
