Hymn to the Goose
Luo Binwang( Tang )
Honk, honk, and honk,
With upward neck thou to the sky loudly sing.
Thy white feathers float on the water green,
Thy red webs push the crystal waves with a swing.
Comment
The poem paints a lively picture of the goose swimming joyfully on the pond. With its honks and web paddling, echoing around, the white feathers, the red webs and the crystal blue water make a bright water-color of the goose sporting in the water.
