...mind, 
He'll steal what seeds he can, 
And all you hide he'll find. 
Yet though he's bully and sneak, 
To small birds, bird of prey, 
He counts the days of the week, 
And keeps the Sabbath Day....Read more of this...

...ing's soft charms which lie below.
Suppressed emotions in each heart arise, 
The wooer wakens and the warrior dies.
The bird of prey is vanquished by the dove, 
And thoughts of bloody strife give place to thoughts of love.



XLIX.
The mighty plains, devoid of whispering trees, 
Guard well the secrets of departed seas.
Where once great tides swept by with ebb and flow
The scorching sun looks down in tearless woe.
And fierce tornadoes in ungoverned pain
Mourn still the loss of...Read more of this...

...By Jove, those flying-chaps of ours are fine! 
I watched one daring beggar looping loops, 
Soaring and diving like some bird of prey. 
And through it all I felt that splendour shine
Which makes us win.’
The soldier sipped his wine. 
‘Ah, yes, but it’s the Press that leads the way!...Read more of this...

...with the Black Eagle, which is the least of his species and the best-natured. 

Let Bedan rejoice with Ossifrage -- the bird of prey and the man of prayer.

...that a good Germany flowers
Like many another good country.

So that the peoples do not turn pale
Before us as before a bird of prey—
But that they reach out their hands
To us as to other peoples.

And so that we desire to be
not above, and not below other peoples,
>From the ocean to the Alps,
from the Oder to the Rhein.

And because we are tending to this land,
May we love and protect it;
And may it seem to us the dearest,
Just as to others their own land seems....Read more of this...

...n her; 
And each foresaw the dolorous day to be: 
And all talk died, as in a grove all song 
Beneath the shadow of some bird of prey; 
Then a long silence came upon the hall, 
And Modred thought, `The time is hard at hand.'...Read more of this...

Spread Thy pinions, King of kings!
Hide them safe beneath Thy wings;
Lest the ravenous bird of prey

...on that thirty years of strife 
 Made of their followers dukes, their leaders kings! 
 While you! like jackal and the bird of prey, 
 Who lurk in copses or 'mid muddy beds— 
 Crouching and hushed, with dagger ready drawn, 
 Hide in the noisome marsh that skirts the way, 
 Trembling lest passing hounds snuff out your lair! 
 Listen at eventide on lonesome path 
 For traveller's footfall, or the mule-bell's chime, 
 Pouncing by hundreds on one helpless man, 
 To cut h...Read more of this...

...e, old man, my deeds appear:
I read abhorrence on thy brow,
And this too was I born to bear!
'Tis true, that, like that bird of prey,
With havock have I marked my way:
But this was taught me by the dove,
To die - and know no second love.
This lesson yet hath man to learn,
Taught by the thing he dares to spurn:
The bird that sings within the brake,
The swan that swims upon the lake,
One mate, and one alone, will take.
And let the fool still prone to range,
And sneer on all who...Read more of this...

...s a pure joy,'
Or so did Tom O'Roughley say
That saw the surges running by.
'And wisdom is a butterfly
And not a gloomy bird of prey.

'If little planned is little sinned
But little need the grave distress.
What's dying but a second wind?
How but in zig-zag wantonness
Could trumpeter Michael be so brave?'
Or something of that sort he said,
'And if my dearest friend were dead
I'd dance a measure on his grave.'...Read more of this...
