Right happy bird so full of mirth
Mounting & mounting still more high
To meet morns sunshine in the sky
Ere yet it smiles on earth
How often I delight to stand
Listening a minutes length away
Where summer spreads her green array
By wheat or barley land
To see thee with a sudden start
The green & placid herbage leave
& in mid air a vision weave
For joys delighted heart
