by William Alexander Percy (1885 - 1942)
A little page's song
Language: English
(13th century) God's lark at morning I would be! I'd set my heart within a tree Close to His bed and sing to Him Right merrily A sunrise hymn. At night I'd be God's troubadour! Beneath His starry walls I'd pour Across the moat such roundelays He'd love me sure - And maybe praise!
