RETURNING

I have learned this:if you stay in one place long enough

they will return to you.

REFRAIN*They will return to you,they will return to you,

they will return.

The geese you saw leaving,their feet rising into dark bodies.

They will return.

[REFRAIN]

All you need to do is watch the sun each dayas it tumbles through the sky

and they will come again.

[REFRAIN]

They will return, floating toward you,their damp bodies

still trembling from flight.

—Laura Foley

*The refrain is to be sung twice: first by the chorus, with harmony, then joined in by the audience (see melody below).

(The refrain is not part of Laura Foley's original poem.)

REFRAIN:

Laura Foley's poem Returning describes the return of wild geese each year. Just as the birds of the poem return again, several elements within the piece return:

the chorus, joined by the audience, sings a simple recurring refrain. The melody of the refrain concludes on an A, the starting note of the piece, and as the birds return home at the end of the

piece, the final note of Returning comes to rest on the same A as well.
