    The bird that soars on highest wing,
    Builds on the ground her lowly nest;
    And she that doth most sweetly sing,
    Sings in the shade when all things rest:
    In lark and nightingale we see
    What honor hath humility.

Lo, here the gentle lark, weary of rest,
From his moist cabinet mounts up on high
And wakes the morning, from whose silver breast
The sun ariseth in his majesty;
Who doth the world so gloriously behold
That cedar tops and hills seem burnished gold.

And the lark soars.
