Hearke, hearke, the Larke at Heavens gate sings,
     and Phœbus gins arise,
[His Steeds to water at those Springs
     on chalic'd Flowres that lyes:]1
And winking Mary-buds begin to ope their Golden eyes
With every thing that pretty is, my Lady sweet arise:
     Arise arise.

CLOTEN
Horch! Lerch' am Himmelstor singt hell,
Und Phöbus steigt herauf,
Sein Roßgespann trinkt süßen Quell
Von Blumenkelchen auf;
Die Ringelblum' erwacht vom Traum,
Tut güldne Augen auf;
Lacht jede Blüt im grünen Raum,
Drum holdes Kind, steh auf:
Steh auf, steh auf, steh auf!
