Fiddler's Farewell/"Hark! Hark!"

"Hark! Hark!"
No sight of it, only the song,
Hours long;
Hidden in the sun, yet near—
See, see the tiny trilling dot appear,
To disappear!

Hidden in the sun, yet near—
See, see the tiny trilling dot appear,
To disappear!
As if a pranking star had lowered it
By a thread
Over the listener's head,
(Scarce swinging),
And then
Had pulled it up again,
Up, up, to the impenetrable blue,
And through—
Still singing!
