<span class="i0">O’er the prairie flits in ever widening circles the shadow of a bird about me as I walk;</span><br/>
<span class="i0">Upward turn my eyes, Kawas looks upon me, she turns with flapping wings and far away she flies.</span><br/></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Round about a tree in ever widening circles an eagle flies, alert watching o’er his nest;</span><br/>
<span class="i0">Loudly whistles he, a challenge sending far, o’er the country wide it echoes, there defying foes.</span><br/></div>
