The Flight

The Flight

Weare two eaglesFlying togetherUnder the heavens,Over the mountains,Stretched on the wind.Sunlight heartens us,Blind snow baffles us,Clouds wheel after usRavelled and thinned.We are like eagles,But when Death harries us,Human and humbledWhen one of us goes,Let the other follow,Let the flight be ended,Let the fire blacken,Let the book close.

Weare two eagles

Flying together

Under the heavens,

Over the mountains,

Stretched on the wind.

Sunlight heartens us,

Blind snow baffles us,

Clouds wheel after us

Ravelled and thinned.

We are like eagles,But when Death harries us,Human and humbledWhen one of us goes,Let the other follow,Let the flight be ended,Let the fire blacken,Let the book close.

We are like eagles,

But when Death harries us,

Human and humbled

When one of us goes,

Let the other follow,

Let the flight be ended,

Let the fire blacken,

Let the book close.
