Since earliest spring-time they have sought The utmost northern isle and shoal; Tbcir chosen haunt and breeding-ground, In latitudes beneath the Pole. The wild-geese and the brent-geese there In swamps impervious build their nest (So Northern fishermen declare), Where none may reach them to molest. But the shy coot-tribes o'er the sands And reeds of rocky islands throng; There frame the nest and rear the young, And linger all the summer long. Off every jutting reef and point Thrust seaward from... New England's shore, The wild-fowl shooters spread the sail And vex the waters with the oar. There, anchor'd in a curving line. Two score of tossing boats extend, Each fowler prompt with uprais'd gun To thin the flocks, where'er they tend. The old-wife, swiftest on the wing, The sheldrake pied, and speckled loon, Join in the ocean voyaging, And flank each migrating platoon; Nor cease their sea-flights till the breeze Of summer climates warms the seas. Digitized by Google WOLF. 75 In Massachusetts Bay, and far Where Cape Cod spreads its yellow sand, By every creek and cape of Maine, River and estuary grand, In Vineyard and Long Island Sound, And by its southern ocean shore.
