    Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes
    Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated,
    The bird of dawning singeth all night long,
    And then, they say, no spirit dare stir abroad,
    The nights are wholesome, then no planets strike,
    No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm.
    So hallowed and so gracious is that time.

Thy note is more loud and free
Because there lies safe for thee
A little nest on the ground."

The lark that shuns on lofty boughs to build
Her humble nest, lies silent in the field.

Up springs the lark,
Shrill-voiced, and loud, the messenger of morn;
Ere yet the shadows fly, he mounted sings
Amid the dawning clouds, and from their haunts
Calls up the tuneful nations.

Till the dappled dawn doth rise.

Thy skilled to poet were, thou scorner of the ground!
