“And he spake of trees, from the cedar tree that is in Lebanon 
even unto the hyssop that springeih out of the wall: he spake also 
of beasts, and of fowl, and of creeping things, and of fishes.” 
The Wisdom of Solomon, (i Kings iv. 33.) 
Flower in the crannied wall, 
I pluck you out of the crannies 
Hold you here, root and all, in my hand, 
Little flower—but if I could understand 
What you are, root and all, and all in all, 
I should know what God and man is. 
Tennyson. 
Hark ! how the cheerefull birds do chaunt theyr laies 
And carroll of Loves praise : 
The merry Larke hir mattins sings aloft; 
The Thrush replyes ; the Mavis descant playes ; 
The Ouzell shrills; the Ruddock warbles soft; 
So goodly all agree, with sweet consent, 
To this dayes merriment. 
Spenser (" Epithalamion.”) 
“ La gentille alouette avec son tire-lire, 
Tire-lire, a lire, et tireliran, tire 
Vers la voute du del, puis son vol verce lieu 
Vire, et desire dire adieu Dieu, adieu Dieu.” 
THE SONG OF THE SKYLARK.
