Mary Wroth
The birds do sing, day doth appear,
Arise, arise my only dear,
Greet this faire morn with thy fair eyes
Where far more love, and brightness lies.
All this long night no sleep, nor rest
My love-commanded soul possessed,
But watchfully the time did mark
To see those stars rise in the dark.
Arise then now, and let those lights
Take Pheobus' place as their due rights,
For when they do together shine
The greater light is still held thine.
Then with those eyes enrich thy love
From whose dear beams my joy doth move,
Shine with delight on my sad heart;
And grace the prize won by their dart.
