Subject(s): BIRDS; DAWN; LARKS; MORNING; SPRING; SUNRISE; SKYLARKS;
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!
