Can’t keep

Canada geese

“Some woman every year

Must catch her breath and weep

With so much wildness near

At all she cannot keep.’’

— From “The Geese,’’ by May Sarton (1912-1995), prolific Belgian-American writer. In the last 22 years of her life, she lived in a house (since demolished) on the coast of York, Maine.
