Eagle Mountain, MN

Easing up out of the flat fields
Another mountain awaits my boots.
Green trees and wildflowers
Lichen and streams of mayflies.
Easing up out of the flat fields.

Minnesota’s Eagle Mountain
Over on the eastern tip
Up against a lake
Named after the guardian bird,
Taking flight above my spirit;
Another mountain awaits my boots.
In the lakes and hills where I wander,
Named after the guardian bird.

Minnesota’s Eagle Mountain.
In the lakes and hills where I wander,
Named after the guardian bird.
Named after the guardian bird
Easing up out of the flat fields
Soaring with majestic wings
Over on the eastern tip
Throwing shadows long and dark,
Another mountain awaits my boots.
