Split the Lark -- and you'll find the Music --
Bulb after Bulb, in Silver rolled --
Scantilly dealt to the Summer Morning
Saved for your Ear when Lutes be old.
Loose the Flood -- you shall find it patent --
Gush after Gush, reserved for you --
Scarlet Experiment! Sceptic Thomas!
Now, do you doubt that your Bird was true?

Comments1Loved the bit about "Bulb after Bulb, in Silver rolled", striking! The use of nature to explain the beauty of music is pretty clever you gotta admit. Funny though, I'm sure my old, terribly off-key parrot was anything but true! Lol.
