Poems (Tynan)/Larks

LARKS

All day in exquisite air The song clomb an invisible stair, Flight on flight, story on story, Into the dazzling glory.

There was no bird, only a singing. Up in the glory, climbing and ringing, Like a small golden cloud at even,Trembling 'twixt earth and heaven.

I saw no staircase winding, winding, Up in the dazzle, sapphire and blinding Yet round by round, in exquisite air, The song went up the stair.
