Ecobirder: The Eagle by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

The Eagle by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;

Close to the sun in lonely lands,

Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.

-

The wrinkled see beneath him crawls;

He watches from his mountain walls,

And like a thunderbolt he falls.
