    And climbing, shakes his dewy wings.
    He takes your window for the East
    And to implore your light he sings.

Some say that ever 'gainst that season comes
Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated,
The bird of dawning singeth all night long,
And then, they say, no spirit dare stir abroad,

No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm.

Sings in the shade when all things rest:
In lark and nightingale we see
What honor hath humility.

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 every thing that pretty is,
My lady sweet, arise,
Arise, arise!

Lo, here the gentle lark, weary of rest,
From his moist cabinet mounts up on high
And wakes the morning, from whose silver breast
The sun ariseth in his majesty;
Who doth the world so gloriously behold
That cedar tops and hills seem burnished gold.

That in books are found,
Thy skilled to poet were, thou scorner of the ground!
