ON A LADY SINGING, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: She bade us listen to the singing lark
Last Line: To music less than she.
Subject(s): Old Age


She bade us listen to the singing lark
In tones far sweeter than its own:
For fear that she should cease and leave us dark
We built the bird a feigned throne,
Shrined in her gracious glory-giving ways
From sceptred hands of starred humility --
Praising herself the more in giving praise
To music less than she.
