A Child's Own Book of Verse II by  Ada M. Skinner

Hark! Hark! The Lark

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 is, my lady sweet, arise;

Arise, arise.

—William Shakespeare.
