"Condor

How flawless and unvarying his candor
Over the wide, over the high Andes
The great condor

So infinitely far from all dissembling,
Is there a doubt? He dares, he dares the sun
To watch him

And the sun watches. Watches, watches the condor
Over the wide, over the high Andes
With equal candor."
