O Great Eagle
O great glass-eyed eagle
Over vast lands you soar
Over seas and oceans
And deserts and snow-robed peaks.
O great glass-eyed eagle
Empires rise and fall beneath you
Castles crumble to dust and cottages grow into forts;
You blow away the sands of time
With a single beat of your wings.
O great glass-eyed eagle,
People awe at your sight,
Kings and peasants alike
Poets sing of your magnificence;
Artists portray you in a hundred shades.
But your cries of sweet melancholy,
Makes me wonder...
Could you ever find any joy in it,
O great blind-eyed eagle?
