Explore "The Knight's Return" by Charles Kingsley on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Hark! hark! hark! / The lark sings high in the dark.
The were wolves mutter, the night hawks moan, / The raven croaks from the Raven-stone; / What care I for his boding groan, / Riding the moorland to come to mine own? / Hark! hark! hark! / The lark sings high in the dark.
Hark! hark! hark! / The lark sings high in the dark.
Long have I wander'd by land and by sea, / Long have I ridden by moorland and lea; / Yonder she sits with my babe on her knee, / Sits at the window and watches for me! / Hark! hark! hark! / The lark sings high in the dark.
Written for music, 1857.
