I Have Borne the Lark's Swift Pinions

Author: M. Rosing Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I have borne the lark's swift pinions, I have sung his joyous songs; High above earth's vain dominions, Paradise to me belongs, Paradise to me belongs. 2 I have felt the home-ties clinging Only where glad songs abound; Echoes from my childhood's singing Ever in my soul resound, Ever in my soul resound. 3 Though the tears my eyes be blinding, Can I see the heavens beam. Soon the way I shall be finding To my childhood's lofty dream, To my childhood's lofty dream. 4 When with eyes and heart uplifted Through the winter night I go, I shall see, beyond snow-drifted Death-lands, glorious flowers grow, Death-lands, glorious flowers grow.
