BEYOND (2), by JOHN BANISTER TABB Poet's Biography First Line: How many larks are soaring Last Line: Were earth's divinest melody. Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb Subject(s): Birds; Larks; Skylarks | ||||||||
How many larks are soaring -- How many voices loud -- Their songs of praise outpouring Where distance, like a cloud, Is stretched above us for a screen Lest aught of heaven be heard or seen! Ah, should one note prevailing, A momentary glow, Love's meteor light out-trailing, Flash over us below, Thenceforth the music of a sigh Were earth's divinest melody. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN GRANTCHESTER MEADOWS; ON HEARING A SKYLARK SING by GEORGE SANTAYANA THE CAGED SKYLARK by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS THE SEA AND THE SKYLARK by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS THE WOODLARK by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS THE LARK ASCENDING by GEORGE MEREDITH RETURNING, WE HEAR THE LARKS by ISAAC ROSENBERG AUBADE [OR, A MORNING SONG FOR IMOGEN], FR.
