The Pig and the Lark

A pig scrambled up from his slumbers,
And grunted with rage at the lark:
“Why must you begin your loud carol
Before we are out of the dark?”

“Good sir,” said the lark, as he flitted
Right gayly from blossom to bud,
“Look up to the sky for your morning—
It never begins in the mud!”
