The Hawk Shapes the Wind Lyrics by Joseph Schwantner

Wild Angels of the Open Hills

0

The hawk shapes the wind and the curve of the wind
Like eggs lie the great gold hills in the curve of the world to that keen eye
The children wait
The hawk declares height by his fell fall
The children cry
Comes the high hunter carrying the kill curving the winds with strong wings
To the old hawk
All earth is prey, and child
