As the Eagle, Came the Wind
As The Eagle, Came The Wind
As the Eagle, came the wind,
Above the high mountain peak.
And blustered ‘cross the valley
To the sound of raptor’s shriek.
Blowing from lofty mountain passes
Where the Eagle chased the breeze
Was the wind that lifted the Eagle
Circling over the forest trees.
The wind that stirred the valley
Was the Eagle’s strong winged beat.
And where the lone Eagle flew
Below its high mountain seat
Prey that saw the raptors beak,
Also heard the chill wind’s shriek.
Inspired by the poem
'There Came a Wind Like a Bugle'
by Emily Dickinson.
