Bald Eagle [German translation]

Once so rare, so secluded

Doomed by DDT back then

But in today's time renewed

And multiple pairs come

Their aeries are enormous

Along the water's edge

Flying fishermen soaring

Diving to grasp their prey

So majestic in flight

Dwarfing a trailing gull

Gliding gracefully onward

Upon zephyrs that flow

Above the shallowed corridors

In search of prey, opportunistic

Getting the lay of the land

This winged sentinel swoops

But at day's end dimming sun

The dying rays send all home

To roost when cold climbs in

And sleep overtakes a regent
