The Skylark

Ayoo, ayooeh 
Above the blue day 
A sound of wings, a shudder    
Song of currents swell  
Thousand moons have fell 
Into these many waters 

Ayoo, ayooai 
Sky bird says goodbye 
To the youthful lily white
Grass of many blades 
Sky of many shades 
Goodbye, whispers he, goodnight 



-For Dr. Mehta's The Alouetee contest
