First Line: A close gray sky
Last Line: Then not at all!
Subject(s): Birds; Larks; Skylarks
(SALISBURY, ENGLAND )
A CLOSE gray sky,
And poplars gray and high,
The country-side along;
The steeple bold
Across the acres old --
And then a song!
Oh, far, far, far,
As any spire or star,
Beyond the cloistered wall!
Oh, high, high, high,
A heart-throb in the sky --
Then not at all!
