ON THE WING

ON THE WING

Out of a tuft a little larkWent higher up than I could mark,His little throat was all one thirstTo sing until his heart should burst,To sing aloft in golden lightHis song from blue air out of sight.

Out of a tuft a little larkWent higher up than I could mark,His little throat was all one thirstTo sing until his heart should burst,To sing aloft in golden lightHis song from blue air out of sight.

Out of a tuft a little larkWent higher up than I could mark,His little throat was all one thirstTo sing until his heart should burst,To sing aloft in golden lightHis song from blue air out of sight.

Out of a tuft a little lark

Went higher up than I could mark,

His little throat was all one thirst

To sing until his heart should burst,

To sing aloft in golden light

His song from blue air out of sight.

John Masefield.

When birdies sing on every tree.The distant huntsman winds his horn,And the skylarks sing with me,O what sweet company.

When birdies sing on every tree.The distant huntsman winds his horn,And the skylarks sing with me,O what sweet company.

When birdies sing on every tree.The distant huntsman winds his horn,And the skylarks sing with me,O what sweet company.

When birdies sing on every tree.

The distant huntsman winds his horn,

And the skylarks sing with me,

O what sweet company.

William Blake.
