To a Skylark
Hail to thee, blithe Spirit! Bird thou never wert, That from Heaven, or near it, Pourest thy full heart In profuse strains of unpremeditated art.
Higher still and higher From the earth thou springest Like a cloud of fire; The blue deep thou wingest, And singing still dost soar, and soaring ever singest.
In the golden lightning Of the sunken sun, O'er which clouds are bright'ning, Thou dost float and run; Like an unbodied joy whose race is just begun.
The pale purple even Melts around thy flight; Like a star of Heaven, In the broad day-light Thou art unseen, but yet I hear thy shrill delight.
Percy Bysshe Shelley

To a Skylark (extract) Modern Interpretation
Hail to thee, blithe Spirit! Hello, happy spirit!Bird thou never wert, You were never just a bird,That from Heaven, or near it, You are from heaven, or nearby,Pourest thy full heart You pour out your full heartIn profuse strains of unpremeditated art. In many songs, naturally without trying
Higher still and higher Higher and higherFrom the earth thou springest You spring from the earthLike a cloud of fire; Like a cloud of fire;The blue deep thou wingest, You fly in the deep blue (sky),And singing still dost soar, and soaring ever singest. Singing as you fly.
In the golden lightning In the golden lightningOf the sunken sun, Of the setting sun,O'er which clouds are bright'ning, Overhead the clouds are brightly litThou dost float and run; You float and run:Like an unbodied joy whose race is just begun. Like joy, about to begin a race.
The pale purple even The pale, purple evening,Melts around thy flight; Melts around your flight;Like a star of Heaven, Like a star of Heaven, In the broad day-light In the broad day-light Thou art unseen, but yet I hear thy shrill delight, You can't be seen but I hear your shrill
delight.

My Bird:
First Draft of Ode
Hail to thee, morning dawn watchman,
Bird thou never wert,
With [shiny] eyes like black midnight,
Your tail spreads out in a fan,
Your [bright] orange beak sounds
With a trill sound call, like a whistle.

I've got 6 lines now. I am only going to use the best. Which is the least interesting?
Morning sounds a bit 'everyday'. I want to make the bird sound dramatic.
I've already used 'sound'. What synonym could I use to do with the noise birds make?
I'm going to magpie Shelley's opening, but I'll change blithe spirit to one of my own ideas.
