Aubade Poem by William Shakespeare

Phoebus is Apollo the sungod. This poem describes the sunlight striking a pond or lake, flower buds opening. I'm not certain what the lark at heaven's gate refers to. But since birds sing in the morning, I suppose the lark at heaven's gate also does.

Marsh marigolds at sunrise spring From Stratford's marshes green Here Shakespeare beauty doth compare With larks that sweetness sing

the word Aubade comes from French 'albade', that is the feminine form of the Latin word 'albus' (alba) = dawn, and it refers to a song or instrumental composition concerning daybreak. - [from Wikipedia: ] An aubade is a morning love song (as opposed to a serenade, which is in the evening) , or a song or poem about lovers separating at dawn. It has also been defined as ''a song or instrumental composition concerning, accompanying, or evoking daybreak''.
