Analysis of Aubade
William Shakespeare 1564 (Stratford-upon-Avon) – 1616 (Stratford-upon-Avon)
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!
