TO THE LARK. - ZaunköniG - 26.12.2010 TO THE LARK. And am I up with thee, light-hearted minion ? Who never dost thine early flight forego, Catching for aye upon thy gamesome pinion What was to fill some lily's cup below, The matin dew-fall ? What is half so thrilling As thy glad voice i' th' argent prime of light ? Whether in grassy nest, when thou art billing, Or thiis aloft and mocking human sight ? Peace dwells with thee for ever—not the peace Of cool reflection,^ but redundant glee, And with such vocal token of wild ease Thou dost reveal thy proud immunity From mortal care, that thou perforce must please : Fair fall thy rapid song, sweet bird, and thee ! |
