Song of the Lark

ELIZABETH CADWELL TOMLINSON

Who that has ever been in England and loves birds, has not felt the joyous ecstasy of the song of the skylark, springing upward, straight from the ground, singing as he goes higher, higher in his flight, until he is lost to view while the sound of his song is still heard?

"Higher still and higher
From the earth thou springest
Like a cloud of fire;
The blue deep thou wingest,
And singing still dost soar, and
Soaring ever singest."
