Lärkan på darrande vingar, brinnande mörk i det blå, ständigt högre sig tvingar, högre och högre ändå. Nu blev hon borta i ljuset. Ingen kan se henne mer. Endast den jublande sången strömmar alltjämt hit ner. Hjärta, när skall du hinna själv till ditt mål en gång: att få i ljus försvinna och bli till sång.
