Lyrics

He rises and begins to round,

He drops the silver chain of sound

Of many links without a break,

In chirrup, whistle, slur and shake.

For singing till his heaven fills,

'Tis love of earth that he instils,

And ever winging up and up,

Our valley is his golden cup.

And he the wine which overflows

Till lost on his aërial rings

In light, and then the fancy sings.

Written by: George Meredith, Ralph Vaughan Williams
