Ya he! Ha he! I am the eagle, yi!

The mighty one! I soar aloft!

I look upon the sun!

Unto the four world-points I fare,

Calling, and as I wheel

Athwart the soundless blue,

Up from the east ...the white dawn riseth,

Faint, on, steadily, I soar

To greet the Day-God—

The Sun, Life-Giver, beams upon my pride.

On conquering wings

The teaming earth I circle

To cry the glory of all things growing;

The forest's whisper, the voices of the sea.

The scudding clouds I spurn!

I spread my rain-plumes proudly!

Fearless and swift ...I journey to the westward,

Fearless and swift ...I glide upon the rainbow.

Yi, triumphant,

Straight and high my pinions bear me

—To joy unchanging, and beyond!

Then call I farewell to day.

Yi ho ee go! I am the eagle, yi!

The mighty one! I soar aloft!

I look upon the sun! Ya he! Ha he!

I am the eagle, yi!

The mighty one! I soar aloft!

I look upon the sun!

Unto the four world-points I fare,

Calling, and as I wheel

Athwart the soundless blue,

Up from the east ...the white dawn riseth,

Faint, on, steadily, I soar

To greet the Day-God—

The Sun, Life-Giver, beams upon my pride.

On conquering wings

The teaming earth I circle

To cry the glory of all things growing;

The forest's whisper, the voices of the sea.

The scudding clouds I spurn!

I spread my rain-plumes proudly!

Fearless and swift ...I journey to the westward,

Fearless and swift ...I glide upon the rainbow.

Yi, triumphant,

Straight and high my pinions bear me

—To joy unchanging, and beyond!

Then call I farewell to day.

Yi ho ee go! I am the eagle, yi!

The mighty one! I soar aloft!

I look upon the sun!
