THE LARK 
Hark ! do you not hear a bird ? You can not see 
it, it; is too far up in the blue sky ; it is up so high 
in the air that you can only see a dot or spot : and 
now you can not see it at all ; but you can hear it 
all the time. How loud its song is ! That bird is 
a Sky Lark. The song of the Sky Lark is very 
fine, and he will sing all day long. His nest is low 
down in the corn, or on the turf, and the hen Lark 
will sit on her eggs in the nest, and her mate will 
pour out his song to her, high over her head ; when 
he has done, he will drop down to the nest by her 
side. By and bye she will get off the nest to feed.
