BehoUIl An eagle now approaches: sedately flying, her course straight v.-inging to 



ns she is coming; 

 "Tis Kawas we are watching, 'tis Kawas coining to seek here her nest. 

 Behold her ever nearer flying, still nearer coming, her young ones calling her. 



Will she alight? 



II 



Behold! An eagle now is circling, is widely circling above us, vrin.ging her way to 



her nestlings; 

 'Tis Kawas we are watching, 'tis Kawas coming to seek here her nest. 

 Behold her ever nearer circling, still nearer circling, her young ones calling lier 



there to alight.

Now she soareth. Kawas soareth. leaves her nestlings, flies above them; will she 



leave them, leave her young? 

 Far she gazes, sees no danger, then contented she descends. 



II 



Slow she falleth. Kawas falleth, wings outspreading, hovers o'er them, o'er her 



nestlings, o'er her young: 

 Long she hovers, then, descending, on her nestlings she alights.
