Hark! Hark! The Lark Poem by William Shakespeare
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 chalic'd flowers that lies;
And winking Mary-buds begin
To ope their golden eyes;
With everything that pretty is,
My lady sweet, arise:
Arise, arise!
genius tend to over analyzed things but for a simple man with simple mind this could be just early morning when sun is barely rising; horses drinks on spring; wake-up my lady-rise and shine.
speachless......just speachless.....hats off to shakespeare
Everybody seems to have found a great deal of information about this poem via Google, the only thing I have to add is a small thing. But a rather tidy thing. The first line says: Hark! hark! the lark at heaven's gate sings, and the last line says: My lady sweet, arise: Arise, arise! He calls his lady to arise. Bird are often described as arising into the sky on their wings.. So he is calling her to arise like the lark to Heaven's gate. I love it when poetry is rounded off this way.
You couldn't PAY a human to read that poem? I read it better sitting on the bowl. How awful. Imagine a young student coming to this and for the first time hears this poem - - READ LIKE THAT! DISGRACEFUL.
Hark, hark - the Lark All time great, great Shakespeare!

Duke Ellington admired Shakespeare, saying about: he must've spent a lot of time on the street corner.
