THE LARKS 



Hark! hark! — the claims upward gaze 

 Of vision, to the vault of blue; 



Behold there, 'mid the shimmering haze. 

 Two larks that drink in heavenly dew, — 



Like feathered daisies poised in view; — 

 Two dots upon the vault of blue. 



The flow of thrilling music thence, 



Seems purimal gush of- bliss from heaven; 



The charmed soul fills with raptured sense 

 Of beauteous joyance, to earth given; 



Now yearning for the source whence riven; 

 Greets gush of primal bliss from heaven. 



With folded wings for earthward flight, 

 The world is hushed! — larks lost to view! 



Vain search for heaven's minstrels bright— 

 Till they are found, with heaven's dew. 



Amid the daisies, whence songs anew. 

 Will spring again from vault of blue!
