SONG, by                    
First Line: Rise, lady mistress, rise
Last Line: For the grey morn breaks from thine eyes.
Alternate Author Name(s): Field, Nat
Subject(s): Morning


RISE, lady mistress, rise!
The night hath tedious been;
No sleep hath fallen into my eyes,
Nor slumbers made me sin.
Is not she a saint, then, say,
Thought of whom keeps sin away?

Rise, madam, rise and give me light,
Whom darkness still will cover,
And ignorance darker than night,
Till thou shine on thy lover.
All want day till thy beauty rise,
For the grey morn breaks from thine eyes.
