To see your flag-bird flap his vans
Where I, to heart's desire,

Perched him!" The chief's eyes flashed; his plans
Soared up again like fire.

The chief's eyes flashed; but presently

Softened itself, as sheathes

A film the mother-eagle's eye

When her bruised eaglet breathes;
"You're wounded!" "Nay," his soldier's pride

Touched to the quick, he said:

"I'm killed, Sire!" And his chief beside,
Smiling the boy fell dead.

E

ARTH has not anything to show more fair:

Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty:

This city now doth, like a garment, wear
The beauty of the morning; silent, bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie
Open unto the fields, and to the sky;

All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Never did sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;
Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!

Memorize the poem.
