INSPIRATION
A LARK sprang up to greet the dawnClose to a rose one day,The tears upon her glowing cheekHis light wing brushed away,Her fragrant beauty fresh and fairHe kissed in passing by,And wove her name into his songOf rapture in the sky.The lonely rose sighed, "Ah, my love,I cannot follow thee;Far, far above in golden lightThou hast forgotten me.Yet am I blest for evermoreThough but an instant dear,—Thou singest now a sweeter songFor all the world to hear!"

A LARK sprang up to greet the dawn
Close to a rose one day,
The tears upon her glowing cheek
His light wing brushed away,
Her fragrant beauty fresh and fair
He kissed in passing by,
And wove her name into his song
Of rapture in the sky.
The lonely rose sighed, "Ah, my love,I cannot follow thee;Far, far above in golden lightThou hast forgotten me.Yet am I blest for evermoreThough but an instant dear,—Thou singest now a sweeter songFor all the world to hear!"

Thou hast forgotten me.
Yet am I blest for evermore
Though but an instant dear,—
