1389 The Meadow Lark

A BRAVE little bird that fears not God,

A voice that breaks from the snow-wet clod

With prophecy of sunny sod,

Set thick with wind-waved goldenrod.

From the first bare clod in the raw, cold spring,

From the last bare clod, when fall winds sting,

The farm-boys hears his brave song ring,

And work for the time is a pleasant thing.
