<br>
Lo, the Falcon,<br>
<br>
Great-Hawk high up o'er these woods.<br>
<br>
What will he take for prey today?<br>
<br>
Could it be me?<br>
<br>
I run through the trees and twist through the briars,<br>
<br>
Heeding not the sharpest thorn;<br>
I fear more the rending talons,<br>
And Hunter's shrill cry!<br>
<br>
Falcon's shadow,<br>
<br>
Blocking out the sun's bright light.<br>
Flight is the only course I know now,<br>
The Hawk's and my own.<br>
<br>
A stream passes by; I bound o'er felled trees,<br>
<br>
Obstacles acrqss my path.<br>
All too soon I'm stopped at the cliff-face;<br>
Here my plight ends!<br>
<br>
Lo, the Falcon,<br>
<br>
Great-Hawk high up o'er these woods.<br>
What will he take for prey today?<br>
