I really shouldn't be dabbling in this as I've no experience other than a
few Caribbean friends, but I feel compelled to take a crack at a
Jamaican/Caribbean version. I mean no disservice. Please correct me because
I have a very elementary notion of the structure of the language.

Arthur's original version:

The eagle mother is gone.
Whether she soared away,
Or folded wings in plunge,
Heart-stopping,
I cannot know.
But this I saw:
Before she left, she
Gyred, and turned, and smiled;
And I should do no less.

De eagle moda she go away.
Oa she soa into de evms,
Oa she fole aa wing dem fo to fall,
Ha haat no wokin,
Me neva a know.
But dis I see:
Befoa she go she gyrate an she taan and she smile;
An me neva a do no less.

Ben
