John Putnam, The dying eagle
The Dying Eagle
An hungry Eagle while watching for hares,
Was with a swift arrow shot thro' unawares,
She mournfully sigh'd before she departed,
At viewing the arrow with which she was darted.
It appeard the shaft which the mischief did bring,
Was made up of feathers took from her own wing.
John Putnam. Æ13. Salem. January 16th, 1816.
