Rise, sons of harmony, and hail the morn, While warbling larks on russet pinions float; Or seek at noon the woodland scene remote, Where the grey linnets carol from the hill: O let them ne'er, with artificial note, To please a tyrant, strain the little bill, But sing what Heaven inspires, and wander where they will!

The ravine below the house was musical with thrushes and meadow-larks.

Ladies' Nightwhat larks!"

Happy as larks, sir, all the time.

Followed in their order pheasants, grouse, swan, peacock and a large pig stuffed with larks and mincemeat.

At a night meeting they may be generously disposed and full of universal sympathy; but they can sleep out their burning thoughts in a few hours, and waken up next morning like larks, with no recollection of their gushing promises.

In Luxury Land everything was good to eat; houses were built of dainties and shingled with cakes; buttered larks fell instead of rain; the streams ran with good wine; and roast geese passed slowly down the streets, turning themselves as they went.

Akka answered at once that the boy should try to get on good terms with all the small animals in the woods and fields: with the squirrel-folk, and the hare-family; with bullfinches and the titmice and woodpeckers and larks.

The titmice are going to warn him against the hawk, and the finches and larks will sing of his valour.

At last the whole cloud falls down over a knollall at onceand the next instant the knoll is entirely covered with gray larks, pretty red-white-gray bulfinches, speckled starlings and greenish-yellow titmice.

One knoll was red with foxes, one was gray with rats; one was covered with black ravens who shrieked continually, one with larks who simply couldn't keep still, but kept on throwing themselves in the air and singing for very joy.

The road dipped strongly once, then again; and then abruptly the forest ceased, and they found themselves cantering over broad rolling meadows knee-high with grasses, from which meadow larks rose in all directions like grasshoppers.

To occupy her there were Jimmie's hunters and a pack of joyous beagles; for tennis, at week-ends Jimmie filled the house with men, and during the week they both played polo, he with the Meadow Brooks and she with the Meadow Larks, and the golf links of Piping Rock ran almost to their lodge-gate.

The motors made a great noise, but it was not too loud for me to hear larks singing in the early morning.

In the silence and stillness and brooding heat, the larks came and dusted themselves in the white impalpable powder of the road.

"They were visiting my brother, and thought the whole thing great larks."

Many of the villagers came thither to place themselves in security, and they chose for captain a tall, fine man, named William a- Larks (aux Alouettes).

The captain, William a-Larks, came down at once with some of his people, and bravely began the fight; but he had the worst of it, was surrounded by the English, and himself stricken with a mortal wound.

But the captain on our side, William a-Larks, was there stricken mortally: he was not yet dead when the fight ended; he was carried away to his bed; he recognized all his comrades who were there, and soon afterwards sank under his wounds.

It was pleasant to hear English larks from rich clover fields singing so joyously in the sandy waste.

English larks was stolen the very day I landed in India, and the other soon died.

WAGGLES says they're not like the Grand Junction, as creeps sewer-like through our parks; Well, WAGGLES may sniff; I'm not sure, up to now, mate, as Venice means larks. '

House instantly alert, and attentive; baulked of its fun with PATRICK, here is promise of fresh larks.

The meadow larks are sending out their cheery "Spring o' the year" from fence rail and covert, a song most sweet and inspiring.

The meadow larks call from the pasture, and overhead the killdee pipes his plaintive call.
