The Flight is a poem about companionship by the American poet Sara Teasdale (1884 – 1933). There are two different poems by Teasdale both named The Flight, this version was printed in 1924 (source Poetryfoundation). 

I kept the arrangement very simple in this track, the only instruments used are a classical guitar, an electric guitar and my vocals.

The Flight  - Poem By Sara Teasdale

We are two eagles
Flying together
Under the heavens,
Over the mountains,
Stretched on the wind.
Sunlight heartens us,
Blind snow baffles us,
Clouds wheel after us
Ravelled and thinned.

We are like eagles
But when Death harries us,
Human and humbled
When one of us goes,
Let the other follow,
Let the flight be ended,
Let the fire blacken,
Let the book close.
