The Eagle by Alfred Lord Tennyson - 1809-1892

[Juvenile Bald Eagle: Essex CT 8/21/21]
 He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
 Close to the sun in lonely lands,
 Ringed with the azure world, he stands.
 The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
 He watches from his mountain walls,
 And like a thunderbolt he falls.
