Lo! 'tis the lark <br />Out in the sweet of the dawn! <br />Springing up from the dew of the lawn, <br />Singing over the gurth and the park!-- <br />O Dawn, red rose to change my life's grey story! <br />O Song, mute lips burning to lyric glory! <br />O Joy! Joy of the lark, <br />Over the dewy lawn, <br />Over the gurth and the park, <br />In the sweet of the dawn!<br /><br />Thomas MacDonagh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/at-dawn-9/
