I said to the sky-poised Lark : Thy note is more loud and free A little nest on the ground." c. D. M. MULOCK—A Rhyme About Birds. No more the mounting larks, while Daphne sings, Shall, list'ning, in mid-air suspend their wings. d. POPE-Pastorals. Winter. L. 53. O earliest singer! O care-charming bird! Married to morning, by a sweeter hymn Than priest e'er chanted from his cloister dim At midnight, or veiled virgin's holier word At sunrise or the paler evening heard. e. ADELAIDE PROCTER-The Flood of O happy skylark springing Up to the broad, blue sky, Too fearless in thy winging, Too gladsome in thy singing, Thou also soon shalt lie Where no sweet notes are ringing. f. CHRISTINA G. ROSSETTI-Gone Forever. St. 2. The sunrise wakes the lark to sing. g. CHRISTINA G. ROSSETTI-Bird Raptures. surpass. SHELLEY-To a Skylark. Up springs the lark, Shrill-voiced, and loud, the messenger of morn; Ere yet the shadows fly, he mounted sings Amid the dawning clouds, and from their haunts Calls up the tuneful nations. p.
