While I was on a woodland walk,
A hawk went flying by–
How easily he soared aloft
In autumn’s azure sky!
O, to ride those lofty winds
Like hawks and eagles do;
To see the rivers, lakes, and woods
From heaven’s bird’s-eye view.
Entranced, I thought to be a hawk
Would truly be so nice–
Until I suddenly recalled
That hawks eat snakes and mice!
