HAWK CHANT OF THE SAGINAWS by ANONYMOUS

First Line: THE HAWKS TURN THEIR HEADS NIMBLY ROUND
Last Line: "THEIR EYES GLANCING BRIGHT, AND THEIR BEAKS BODING HARM"

The hawks turn their heads nimbly round;
They turn to look back on their flight.
The spirits of sun-place have whispered them words,
They fly with their messages swift,
They look as they fearfully go,
They look to the farthermost end of the world,
Their eyes glancing bright, and their beaks boding harm.
