A Child's Own Book of Verse, Book Three by  Ada M. Skinner and Frances Gillespy Wickes

The Eagle

He clasps the crag with hookèd hands;

Close to the sun in lonely lands,

Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.


The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;

He watches from his mountain walls,

And like a thunderbolt he falls.

—Alfred Tennyson.
