I agree with Michael Davis in that both the bird and the playful
gaminess is going on in the reference. I also think about the fact that
larks, when they flourished, were often the very first birds to greet
the dawn, hence they were seen as excited about another day in which
they could make beautiful music, fly around, eat bugs, etc. So a
imagine larks as exuberant, hence perhaps how the verb "to lark" came
into existence in the first place.
