I came at first to feel some dread When eagle wings rushed near my head His haste forced him to drop his prey Then move to branches overhead I thought for sure he’d come my way To find the prey he’d dropped that day But no bird came, the prey was lost And left for game to haul away The next day came a heavy frost The shallow creek could now be crossed The snow clouds pushed their blackness in Some broken trees an added cost When snowfall starts and calm begins I hear some chatter on the wind An eagle family settling in An eagle family settling in
