LYRIC OUTCRY, by                    
First Line: The lark unwinds his spiral speech
Last Line: On permanence.
Alternate Author Name(s): Bower, W. M., Mrs.


The lark unwinds his spiral speech,
A curve of sound,
The lyric grass-blades only reach
Words made of ground.

And in between, bewildered, I
Stand by and lean
One tilted ear to catch the sky,
And one this green.

My heart is tiptoe for the song
That leaps the fence --
But well I know my feet belong
On permanence.
