The Morning Lark

Awoken in flight
up yonder and sing.
The lark of the morn
on song and a wing.

To hover on high,
arise and rejoice.
Oh joyous your song,
the morning in voice.

The dawning in verse
your music has stirred
the light of the day
on wings of a bird.

O’er farmer and field,
o’er shepherd and herd.
The song of the lark,
the morning is heard.

A prince of the sky
a singing with glee.
The lark of the morn,
good morning to thee.
