Aubade

By William Shakespeare

1564-1616

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