Song to the Goose

Luo Binwang

 

Gaggle, gaggle, gaggle!The word “gaggle” (the mimicking of the goose’s utterance) is a case of onomatopoeia, and the repetition of the word adds to the rhetorical effect of the line.

Stretching her neck skyward the goose bursts into song.

Her whitish plumes gliding o’er the limpidity,

With her pinkish feet she’s proudly paddling along.This line involves a case of personification.
