“When a mounting skylark
sings
In the sunlit summer morn,
I know that heaven is up on high,
And on earth are fields of corn.
“But when a nightingale
sings
In the moonlit summer even,
I know not if earth is merely earth,
Only that heaven is heaven.”— English poet Christina Rossetti (1830-1894), “Sing-Song”—“mounting skylark,” in The Complete Poems, edited by R. W. Crump and Betty S. Flowers (2001)
