The Lark and the Wind + 

In the air why such a ringing? + 

On the earth why such a droning? + 

In the air the lark is singing; + 

On the earth the wind is moaning. + 

“I am blest, in sunlight swinging!” + 

“Sad am I: the world lies groaning!” + 

In the sky the lark kept singing; + 

On the earth the wind kept moaning. + 
