Aris Christofellis - Anonymous: Hark! Hark! the lark

Anonymous: Hark! Hark! the lark (Cymbeline)
(Music in Shakespeare's time, Track 2)

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;

Chorus
With every thing that pretty is,
My lady sweet, arise.
Arise, arise,
My lady sweet, arise.


Hark, hark! the lark at heaven's gate sings,
And Phoebus 'gins arise,
And winking Mary-buds begin
To ope their golden eyes:

Chorus
With every thing that pretty is,
My lady sweet, arise.
Arise, arise,
My lady sweet, arise.
