Lark in the Clear Air

Dear thoughts are in my mind
And my soul soars enchanted,
As I hear the sweet lark sing
In the clear air of the day.
For a tender beaming smile,
To my hope has been granted,
And tomorrow she shall bear,
All my fond heart would say.

I shall tell her all my love,
All my soul's adoration.
And I think she will hear me
And will not say me nay.
It is this that gives my soul
All its joyous elation,
As I hear the sweet lark sing,
In the clear air of the day.
