Original text and translations

English text

On airy wings
The skylark springs
To yonder cloud on high;
His thanks to God
He flings abroad,
And fills the wide blue sky.

O songster rare,
You swing up there—
Creation’s morning bell!
My songs I’ll blend
With yours, and send
Them up to heaven as well.
