Hawk my friend I thank you now
For it seems as if somehow
When you fly so high above the trees
I am you and you are me
For what you see flashes in my mind
That I can not also fly, I feel is most unkind
Fly to the west so I can see
Five leagues away the blue green sea
Now fly to the north with much speed
We’ll check on my Lady, to see if she has needs
Now back to me on quiet wing
When we fly together, it makes my heart sing

You ride on my arm for all to see
Sitting up tall, so proud and free
I’ve been told, hood your hawk so he can’t see
On your head a hood will never be
To hood you my friend, would be blinding me
A friend to me you are indeed
To my rescue you come, when I’m in need
You own a hawk, some people say
Hawk is owned by no one, and won’t be to his dieing day
Friends he and I, it’s the only way
We compliment each other, so he decided to stay
