Owl of Minerva

Wisdom of Flight,

Be as it may,

Be as it might.

What do you say?

Before you devour your prey?

Is it a grace?

Is it a blessing?

Is your fervor so powerful,

That it becomes so unresting?

I'm eager to know,

I'm ardent to learn.

Give me a chance,

I beg for a turn.

I'm ready for flight,

I'm ready for war,

I'm ready for life,

I'm ready to soar.
