It was like a lark, disturbed by the reapers, rising from its nest in the meadows. The notes came softly, dreamily from her throat; and then as she rose slowly to her feet, clasping the spear, it was as if a floodgate had been opened and the sounds poured out, full, glorious, irresistible, ringing through the darkness and the silence of the House.
There is the living mystery that prevents you from marrying me. Were my father alive, he would protect me from you. Dead, he still strives to protect me. His hands, his ghostly hands, are against your life!" "Do be calm," Chris said soothingly. "Listen to me. It is all a lark.
"'I will sing a song, I'm the Lark. 'Sing, sing, Throat-strong, Little Kill-the-dark. What will you sing about, Now the night is out? "'I can only call; I can't think. Let me up that's all. Let me drink! Thirsting all the long night For a drink of light. "By this time the lark was standing on the edge of his nest and looking at the children. "'Poor little things!

The typical engineer, like any other thorough-going man treats what he does as a sport. That is, he puts his religion for the fun of it into his business. His business becomes the continual lark of making his religion work.

The Child had seen the earth-coloured little bird rise up before him, and it seemed to him as if the earth had sent her forth from her bosom as a messenger to carry her joy and her thanks up to the sun, because he had turned his beaming countenance again upon her in love and bounty. And the lark hung poised above the hope-giving field, and warbled her clear and joyous song.
"Good morning, my little man; have you slept well?" We held out our arms to each other and embraced like old friends. Then the talking would begin. He chatted as the lark would sing to the rising sun. Endless stories. He would tell me his dreams, asking after each sentence for "his nice, warm bread and milk, with plenty of sugar."
