BEYOND (2), by                     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.
