THE EAGLE'S SONG

At the distance staring back at me I set my eyes

And wings I spread, to break the ties

That this dire earth so holds me to;

I am an eagle, my fate's to rise

Far beyond untrespassed blue.

I am an eagle, born to kiss the azure

Where comes no pureness near as pure;

Far above these clouds of fleece,

I'm born to sail the winds demure

And taste a smack of Heaven's peace.

For I am an eagle, baptized in ether,

And with the sylphs I kinship claim;

E'en my wings soon flaccid wax, it never

Will quench that deathless flame

That, e'en if I die, will burn forever.
