Ascend and crown the sky, amazing lark
You cannot know what joy you bring
To this winter-weary heart
Bumble on, friendly bee
You do not know how vital is your art
And what relief to see the tiny leaf unfurl
On the grand old oak
Who shunned all vestments through the winter's chill
But now puts on his greenest summer cloak
Come swallows, fast and low
Perform your aeronautic feats (like spitfires)
Swimming through the air
Skimming o'er the growing wheat
Comfrey on the river bank
Milkmaids in the meadow damp
Cow's parsley with its lacy bobbin' heads
Dandelion's golden threads
My heart feels part, as if re-born
Of this rejuvenating summer dawn
