Great wings flapping Dark feathers fluttering In the breeze Push up, pull down Rising on currents Unseen by the eye Soaring up high Up, up, up To perch, to rest
Great wings watching Dark feathers rustling In the breeze Eyes keen and ears sharp Watching, waiting, listening Spying all, catching all All in all Many black birds To watch, to listen
Great wings chatting Dark feathers rumbling In the breeze A great jabber Loud clamour of caws Many mouths move Cawing, clawing, croaking To share the news To tell the truth
