The Eagle
By Alfred, Lord Tennyson 1809–1892

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring'd with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.

英譯中： 【七言】鷹

鐵爪攫岩近日邊，蒼穹如蓋抱荒原。
定神俯瞰山前海，忽似驚雷過雲端。
