Dear Abby By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN DEAR ABBY: Some time ago you had a poem in your column about hunters who shoot wild geese. It described how the male lay dying and his wounded mate stayed with him and covered him with her broken wing, until she died. This really impressed me, and I'd like to show it to someone who is very dear to me and thinks killing birds for sport is OK. EDITH P. REED, LADY LAKE, FLA.

DEAR EDITH: I remember it well. It was written by Lemuel T. Ward of Crisfleld, and here it is: A HUNTER'S POEM A hunter shot at a flock of geese That flew within his reach. Two were stopped in their rapid flight And fell on the sandy beach. The male bird lay at the water's edge And jnst before he died He faintly called to his wounded mate And she dragged herself to his side.

She bent her bead and crooned to him In a way distressed and wild Caressing her one and only mate As a mother would a child. Then covering him with her broken wing And gasping with failing breath She laid her head against his breast A feeble then death. This story is true though crudely told I was the man in this case. I stood knee deep in snow and cold And the hot tears burned my face. I buried the birds in the sand where they lay Wrapped in my hunting coat And I threw my gun and belt in the bay When I crossed in the open boat.

Hunters will call me a right poor sport And scoff at the thing I did. But that day something broke in my heart And shoot again? God forbid! DEAR ABBY: I'm married to a terrific man. He's good-looking with a terrific build, caring, doesn't drink or chase around with other women, hardworking, and in fact, fairly wealthy (he makes an upper-middle-class income). My problem is that I just don't feel like I love him. Although I do care deeply for him, I'm just not "in love" with him.

Abby, I have friends who would love to have my dream house, my husband, my car and my extra spending money. Should I stay with him just because it's such a good arrangement, or should I leave him to find someone who gives me that "in love" feeling that I've been missing? LOVE-STARVED DEAR LOVE-STARVED: It all depends on what yon have going for you. As my sainted grandmother used to say, "Don't throw away cake to start looking for crumbs."
