The falling of the silver dew。



But flowers of earth were pale to him

Who had seen the rainbow fishes swim;

And when earth's dew around him lay

He thought of ocean's winged spray;

And his eye waxed sad and dim。



The green trees round him only made

A prison with their darksome shade;

And dropped his wing; and mourned he

For his own boundless glittering sea …

Albeit he knew not they could fade。



Then One her gladsome face did bring;

Her gentle voice's murmuring;

In ocean's stead his heart to move

And teach him what was human love:

He thought it a strange; mournful thing。



He lay down in his grief to die

(First looking to the sea…like sky

That hath no waves!); because; alas!

Our human touch did on him pass;

And; with our touch; our agony。



Elizabeth Barrett Browning '1806…1861'





TO A SKYLARK



Up with me! up with me into the clouds!

For thy song; Lark; is strong;

Up with me; up with me into the clouds!

Singing; singing;

With clouds and sky about thee ringing;

Lift me; guide me till I find

That spot which seems so to thy mind!



I have walked through wildernesses dreary

And to…day my heart is weary;

Had I now the wings of a Fairy;

Up to thee would I fly。

There is madness about thee; and joy divine

In that song of thine;

Lift me; guide me high and high

To thy banqueting…Place in the sky。



Joyous as morning

Thou art laughing and scorning;

Thou hast a nest for thy love and thy rest。

And; though little troubled with sloth;

Drunken Lark! thou would'st be loth

To be such a traveler as I。

Happy; happy Liver;

With a soul as strong as a mountain river

Pouring out praise to the Almighty Giver;

Joy and jollity be with us both!



Alas! my journey; rugged and uneven;

Through prickly moors or dusty ways must wind;

But hearing thee; or others of thy kind;

As full of gladness and as free of heaven;

I; with my fate contented; will plod on;

And hope for higher raptures; when life's day is done。



William Wordsworth '1770…1850'





TO A SKYLARK



Ethereal minstrel! pilgrim of the sky!

Dost thou despise the earth where cares abound?

Or; while the wings aspire; are heart and eye

Both with thy nest upon the dewy ground?

Thy nest which thou canst drop into at will;

Those quivering wings composed; that music still!



To the last point of vision; and beyond;

Mount; daring warbler! … that love…prompted strain

… 'Twixt thee and thine a never…failing bond …

Thrills not the less the bosom of the plain:

Yet might'st thou seem; proud privilege! to sing

All independent of the leafy spring。



Leave to the nightingale her shady wood;

A privacy of glorious light is thine;

Whence thou dost pour upon the world a flood

Of harmony; with instinct more divine:

Type of the wise; who soar; but never roam …

True to the kindred points of Heaven and Home!



William Wordsworth '1770…1850'





THE SKYLARK



Bird of the wilderness;

Blithesome and cumberless;

Sweet be thy matin o'er moorland and lea!

Emblem of happiness;

Blest is thy dwelling…place …

O to abide in the desert with thee!



Wild is thy lay and loud;

Far in the downy cloud;

Love gives it energy; love gave it birth。

Where; on thy dewy wing;

Where art thou journeying?

Thy lay is in heaven; thy love is on earth。



O'er fell and fountain sheen;

O'er moor and mountain green;

O'er the red streamer that heralds the day;

Over the cloudlet dim;

Over the rainbow's rim;

Musical cherub; soar; singing; away!



Then; when the gloaming comes;

Low in the heather blooms

Sweet will thy welcome and bed of love be!

Emblem of happiness;

Blest is thy dwelling…place …

O to abide in the desert with thee!



James Hogg '1770…1835'





THE SKYLARK



How the blithe Lark runs up the golden stair

That leans through cloudy gates from Heaven to Earth;

And all alone in the empyreal air

Fills it with jubilant sweet songs of mirth;

How far he seems; how far

With the light upon his wings;

Is it a bird; or star

That shines; and sings?



What matter if the days be dark and frore;

That sunbeam tells of other days to be;

And singing in the light that floods him o'er

In joy he overtakes Futurity;

Under cloud…arches vast

He peeps; and sees behind

Great Summer coming fast

Adown the wind!



And now he dives into a rainbow's rivers;

In streams of gold and purple he is drowned;

Shrilly the arrows of his song he shivers;

As though the stormy drops were turned to sound;

And now he issues through;

He scales a cloudy tower;

Faintly; like falling dew;

His fast notes shower。



Let every wind be hushed; that I may hear

The wondrous things he tells the World below;

Things that we dream of he is watching near;

Hopes that we never dreamed he would bestow;

Alas! the storm hath rolled

Back the gold gates again;

Or surely he had told

All Heaven to men!



So the victorious Poet sings alone;

And fills with light his solitary home;

And through that glory sees new worlds foreshown;

And hears high songs; and triumphs yet to come;

He waves the air of Time

With thrills of golden chords;

And makes the world to climb

On linked words。



What if his hair be gray; his eyes be dim;

If wealth forsake him; and if friends be cold;

Wonder unbars her thousand gates to him;

Truth never fails; nor Beauty waxes old;

More than he tells his eyes

Behold; his spirit hears;

Of grief; and joy; and sighs

'Twixt joy and tears。



Blest is the man who with the sound of song

Can charm away the heartache; and forget

The frost of Penury; and the stings of Wrong;

And drown the fatal whisper of Regret!

Darker are the abodes

Of Kings; though his be poor;

While Fancies; like the Gods;

Pass through his door。



Singing thou scalest Heaven upon thy wings;

Thou liftest a glad heart into the skies;

He maketh his own sunrise; while he sings;

And turns the dusty Earth to Paradise;

I see thee sail along

Far up the sunny streams;

Unseen; I hear his song;

I see his dreams。



Frederick Tennyson '1807…1898'





TO A SKYLARK



Hail to thee; blithe spirit!

Bird thou never wert;

That from heaven; or near it;

Pourest thy full heart

In profuse strains of unpremeditated art。



Higher still and higher;

From the earth thou springest

Like a cloud of fire;

The blue deep thou wingest;

And singing still dost soar; and soaring ever singest。



In the golden lightning

Of the sunken sun;

O'er which clouds are bright'ning;

Thou dost float and run;

Like an unbodied joy whose race is just begun。



The pale purple even

Melts around thy flight;

Like a star of heaven

In the broad daylight

Thou art unseen; but yet I hear thy shrill delight。



Keen as are the arrows

Of that silver sphere;

Whose intense lamp narrows

In the white dawn clear;

Until we hardly see; we feel that it is there。



All the earth and air

With thy voice is loud;

As; when night is bare;

From one lonely cloud

The moon rains out her beams; and heaven is overflowed。



What thou art we know not;

What is most like thee?

From rainbow clouds there flow not

Drops so bright to see

As from thy presence showers a rain of melody。



Like a poet hidden

In the light of thought;

Singing hymns unbidden

Till the world is wrought

To sympathy with hopes and fears it heeded not:



Like a high…born maiden

In a palace tower;

Soothing her love…laden

Soul in secret hour

With music sweet as love; which overflows her bower:



Like a glow…worm golden

In a dell of dew;

Scattering unbeholden

Its aerial hue

Among the flowers and grass; which screen it from the view:



Like a rose embowered

In its own green leaves;

By warm winds deflowered;

Till the scent it gives

Makes faint with too much sweet these heavy…winged thieves:



Sound of vernal showers

On the twinkling grass;

Rain…awakened flowers;

All that ever was

Joyous; and clear; and fresh; thy music doth surpass。



Teach us; sprite or bird;

What sweet thoughts are thine:

I have never heard

Praise of love or wine

That panted forth a flood of rapture so divine。



Chorus hymeneal;

Or triumphal chaunt;

Matched with thine would be all

But an empty vaunt …

A thing wherein we feel there is some hidden want。



What objects are the fountains

Of thy happy strain?

What fields; or waves; or mountains?

What shapes of sky or plain?

What love of thine own kind? what ignorance of pain?



With thy clear keen joyance

Languor cannot be:

Shadow of annoyance

Never came near thee:

Thou lovest; but ne'er knew love's sad satiety。



Waking or asleep;

Thou of death must deem

Things more true and deep

Than we mortals dream;

Or how could thy notes flow in such a crystal stream?



We look before and after;

And pine for what is not:

Our sincerest laughter

With some pain is fraught;

Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thought。



Yet if we could scorn

Hate; and pride; and fear;

If we were things born

Not to shed a tear;

I know not how thy joy we ever should come near。



Better than all measures

Of delightful sound;

Better than all treasures

That in books are found;

Thy skill to poet were; thou scorner of the ground!



Teach me half the gladness

That thy brain must know;

Such harmonious madness

From my lips would flow;

The world should listen then; as I am listening now。



Percy Bysshe Shelley '1792…1822'





THE STORMY PETREL



A thousand miles from land are we;

Tossing about on the roaring sea; …

From billow to bounding billow cast;

Like fleecy snow on the stormy blast。

The sails are scattered abroad like weeds;

The strong masts shake like quivering reeds;

The mighty cables and iron chains;

The hull; which all earthly strength
