Classic Poem

Early , cheerful, mounting Lark!
Light's gentle usher! Morning's Clerk!
In merry notes delighting;
Stint awhile thy song, and hark,
And learn my new inditing!

Bear up this Hymn! to heaven, it bear!
Even up to heaven, and sing it there!
To heaven, each morning bear it!
Have it set to some sweet sphere,
And let the angels hear it!

Renowned A STRÆA , that great name!
(Exceeding great in worth and fame,
Great worth hath so renowned it)
It is A STRÆA'S name I praise!
Now, then, sweet Lark! do thou it raise;
And in high heaven resound it!
