Teevo cheevo cheevio cheeA
O where what can th aacute at beA
Weedio weedio there againB
So tiny a trickle of s oacute ng strainC
And all round not to be foundD
For brier bough furrow or gr eacute en groundD
Before or behind or far or at handE
Either left either rightF
Anywhere in the s uacute nlightF
Well after all Ah but harkG
'I am the little w oacute odlarkG
H
To day the sky is two and twoI
With white strokes and strains of the blueI
H
Round a ring around a ringG
And while I sail must listen I singG
H
The skylark is my cousin and heA
Is known to men more than meA
H
when the cry withinJ
Says Go on then I go onK
Till the longing is less and the good goneL
-
But down drop if it says StopM
To the all a leaf of the tr eacute etopM
And after that off the boughN
-
I aacute m so v eacute ry O so oacute very gladF
That I d oacute th iacute nk there is not to be hadF
-
The blue wheat acre is underneathO
And the braided ear breaks out of the sheathO
The ear in milk lush the sashP
And crush silk poppies aflashP
The blood gush blade gashP
Flame rash rudredF
Bud shelling or broad shedF
Tatter tassel tangled and dingle a dangledF
Dandy hung dainty headF
-
And down the furrow dryQ
Sunspurge and oxeyeR
And laced leaved lovelyA
Foam tuft fumitoryQ
-
Through the velvety wind V wingedF
To the nest's nook I balance and buoyA
With a sweet joy of a sweet joyS
Sweet of a sweet of a sweet joyS
Of a sweet a sweet sweet joy '-
