To a Skylark

Reading edition

By William Wordsworth

Ethereal minstrel! pilgrim of the sky! Dost thou despise the earth where cares abound? Or, while the wings aspire, are heart and eye Both with thy nest upon the dewy ground? Thy nest which thou canst drop into at will, Those quivering wings composed, that music still!

Ē̍ thē´rē̍al: heavenly. Mĭn´strĕl: poet; singer.
