104. Dawn Song

William Shakespeare (1564–1616)


HARK! hark! the lark at heaven’s gate sings,
And Phœbus ’gins arise,
His steeds to water at those springs
On chaliced flowers that lies;
And winking Mary-buds begin	5
To ope their golden eyes:
With everything that pretty bin,
My lady sweet, arise!
Arise, arise!
