Falcon Sweeping Down

Nestled in his lofty perch

Among such Spartan furnishings

He contemplates the oneness of

His single-minded quest.

 

To triumph every battle,

To conquer every prey,

To hover in the clouds and know

He is above the best

 

The swiftness of his crushing jaw,

His talons strong and sure,

The unrelenting tenure of

His vast tenacity,

The beauty of his flawless flight,

This fateful knight of doom

Bounding and rebounding

Between fear and anarchy.

 

Oh, shall I see or ever know

A knight of more renown

Who rides the air of chivalry,

This falcon sweeping down.
