This poem is about a hawk that thinks he is the best, he is arrogant and thinks he is the most powerful. He is hunting for its prey and he is looking down at everything from a high tree. This is what makes him think he is powerful. The purpose of the poem is to compare how mankind is similar to the hawk because humans also act like this and think they are the most powerful.

The hawk thinks it is the most powerful because it is looking down on everything and everyone and it’s about to attack its prey. This is similar to what humans do.

There are six stanzas in the whole poem and each stanza has four lines. I think this is trying to show how the hawk is and how it speaks.
