Through whirlwind and eddy;
I cling to his neck, and he ever is ready
To pause at my beck.
Through whirlwind and eddy;
I cling to his neck, and he ever is ready
To pause at my beck.
White doves through the ether

They startle,—they scatter!
On the wet window-pane hear my eagle’s claws clatter!—
The snow’s turned to rain!
