The Rising Of The Lark Poem by David Wood

The Rising Of The Lark

Rating: 5.0


Night cast its cape aside and golden rays
Glanced across the early dawn,
A soft breeze rustled tired leaves
And began to melt the morning dew.

The lake in the wood began to wake from
Its slumber as mallard ducks and coots
Began shaking their cold weary feathers.
Jackdaws and blackbirds looked for worms.

High above a skylark called out in the morning air
Hovering above the wood and started collecting
Insects for its young, their beaks agape
Waiting for their breakfast.

Slowly the wood began to stir. The sound of a
Woodpecker echoed through the trees and a
Cuckoo’s haunting melody drifted high in the breeze.
All the time the skylark sang in the early dawn.
