Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809-1892)

The Eagle


              1He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
              2Close to the sun in lonely lands,
              3Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.

              4The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
              5He watches from his mountain walls,
              6And like a thunderbolt he falls.

Notes
