I wrote and recorded a tune for Christina Rossetti's poem, "The Skylark" (also called "A Green Cornfield") to help people memorize it. Keri Tillman recorded the vocals for the song.
The poem was written before 1876 (see pg. 390 of "The poetical works of Christina Georgina Rossetti") https://archive.org/details/poeticalw...
The earth was green, the sky was blue:
I saw and heard one sunny morn
A skylark hang between the two,
A singing speck above the corn;
A stage below, in gay accord,
White butterflies danced on the wing,
And still the singing skylark soared,
And silent sank and soared to sing.
The cornfield stretched a tender green
To right and left beside my walks;
I knew he had a nest unseen
Somewhere among the million stalks.
And as I paused to hear his song
While swift the sunny moments slid,
Perhaps his mate sat listening long,
And listened longer than I did.
INSPIRATION for the BACKGROUND ILLUSTRATION:
1. The image of the Skylark was based on Steve Ward Nature's picture "Skylark in flight"

2. The wheat was inspired by an image on Erica Verrillo's blog - https://ericaverrillo.com/blog/archiv...
3. The background of the illustration was based on "Harvesting in the Thames Valley" a painting by George Vicat Cole made in 1888.
