And to implore your light, he sings:
Till she can dress her beauty at your eyes.
Awake, awake! break thro' your veils of lawn!
"The merchant bows unto the seaman's star,
The ploughman from the sun his season takes;
He takes this window for the east;
Then draw your curtains, and begin the dawn."
And, climbing, shakes his dewy wings;
"Awake, awake! the morn will never rise,
But still the lover wonders what they are,
The lark now leaves his wat'ry nest,
Who look for day before his mistress wakes.
