A Green Cornfield.

Topics: classic

"And singing still dost soar, and soaring ever singest."     The earth was green, the sky was blue:     I saw and heard one sunny morn     A skylark hang between the two,     A singing speck above the corn;     A stage below, in gay accord,     White butterflies danced on the wing,     And still the singing skylark soared     And silent sank, and soared to sing.     The cornfield stretched a tender green     To right and left beside my walks;     I knew he had a nest unseen     Somewhere among the million stalks:     And as I paused to hear his song     While swift the sunny moments slid,     Perhaps his mate sat listening long,     And listened longer than I did.
