THE MEADOW LARK, by                    
First Line: Chirping songster, sprightly fellow
Last Line: To the inmost heart of me!
Subject(s): Hearts; Love; Spring


Chirping songster, sprightly fellow,
Dressed in vesture tan and yellow,
From the southland meadows fair,
Sweeter than the breath of flowers
His presence fills the northland bowers
Making glad the balmy air.

Winging, singing o'er the prairie,
Melodies entrancing airy,
Psalms unto his lord, the Sun;
Chanting, chanting never weary
To his mate love songs so cheery
From dawn until the day is done.

Spring's gay herald, bird of gladness,
Scattering joy in loving madness
Over mead and verdant lea—
May each note bring comfort, pleasure,
Ever increasing without measure
To the inmost heart of me!
