The poem describes the migration of wild geese. It conveys that an internal sense or intuition tells the geese that it is time to leave as winter approaches, even though the environment appears warm and bountiful. Signs like the green leaves stirring and berries ripening hint that frost is coming, so the geese follow their instinct to fly south where the summer sun will be on their wings and winter in their cry.
