The laverock sings a bonny lay above the Scottish heather,
It sprinkles down from far away like light and love together;
He drops the golden notes to greet his brooding mate, his dearie,—
I only know one song more sweet,—the wood-notes of the veery.
It sprinkles down from far away like light and love together;
He drops the golden notes to greet his brooding mate, his dearie,—
I only know one song more sweet,—the wood-notes of the veery.
Henry van Dyke.
