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.
